The "where to get it" has already been mentioned, including the Cygwin 
site. Although not completely necessary for running emacs under Windoze, I 
would strongly recommend installing Cygwin. Then set any and all needed 
Windoze environment variables, start Cygwin and then start emacs. There are 
some modes, such as ediff-directories, which are broken when emacs is run 
directly under Windoze. They seem to work much better under Cygwin.

Best, Ed
