https://www.wireguard.com/install/ is the wireguard installer for windows. I'm not sure where it stores its configuration files on windows, but I'm sure that's documented on their website somewhere. Then you can configure it according to this wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGuard (yes it's for Linux, but wireguard works basically the same whether on Windows or Linux)

Does PIA have Wireguard config files for router Asus Merlin?
I googled and looked through this sub, but couldn't find the answer. The only post that was remotely close suggested I make my own config files with a shell script. https://github.com/triffid/pia-wg

How to 'whitelist' Prime video on TV?
Search for split tunnel openvpn or wireguard and you can figure out how to setup the configuration file. PIA doesn't share the wireguard configuration files, but you can get those using https://github.com/triffid/pia-wg Otherwise just use the openvpn config files. And you can install OpenVPN for Android on your tv. Copy the configuration files over and connect.
