Certbot is not available for Windows unfortunately, so you may need to do some googling to find a suitable alternative. A quick search [showed this](https://pkisharp.github.io/win-acme/), although I haven't read about it in any detail.  
Once you get your certificates sorted, it's very easy to add them to node-RED, and we can help you with that.

For Windows there are PowerShell and other options. You could also use one of the node.js options and create a Node-RED flow. You've also got options for Ansible, Docker and for various web servers and proxies.
