Cygwin is the best source for gnu programs on windows (and non-gnu programs, 
too).
It is highly recommended to use cygwin.

If you absolutely can not use cygwin,
you'll find here links for sed versions compiled for windows:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-sed/2017-01/msg00076.html
but please be aware these are unofficial, unsupported versions.
