I've not done this recently but you should be able to accomplish this if
you run an X Window System server (software) on your Windows machine.
Cygwin used to have such a server available.  SSH supports X (using the
"-X" flag on Linux; I don't know about Windows).

As I said, I've not done this recently as it's been years since I have
had to use Windows.

HTH,
