Wildcards in file names are not implemented by gawk, but by the shell.
The native Windows shells do not do this except in their built-in
commands such as del and copy; some native Windows programs also implement
wildcards themselves.

So you need a shell that runs on Windows.  The cygwin package (at
cygwin.com) will provide you with a bash shell similar to the one you
used on Linux, plus a port of awk that is tuned to work well with it
(slashes instead of backslashes, even).  There are alternative solutions
out there as well.
