Is Windows supports Ec2 instance
Yes, you can launch windows ihstances as well.
But EFS only supports Linux
AWS documentation states that EFS cannot be mounted from Windows EC2 instances (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/ami-kernel-versions-troubleshooting.html). Windows allows some functionality not supported by EFS and is therefore not compatible (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38956130/aws-efs-from-windows-server-2012). There are workarounds that require you to compile your own connector. AWS provides another service called FSx for windows file shares.
Psst…this one if you’ve been moved to ACG!
