adding this to .emacs should solve it

(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/msys64/mingw64/share/info")

Another pesky detail is that there needs to exist a file named 'dir' in
each of the info directories /msys64/mingw64/share/info/dir and
the org-mode manual needs to be listed in the file.

Then hit C-h i and you should see a list of all installed manuals.

Since some manuals are not included in distros (or the distros put
them in the wrong place) you can keep a private info dir with the
manuals that interest you.

(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/MY_OWN_INFO_DIR")

and add an entry for each manual in ~/MY_OWN_INFO_DIR/dir
The format of the file is very picky on capitalization.
Mine is


----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the
topmost node of the Info hierarchy, called (dir)Top.
The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at this node.
^_
File: dir,  Node: Top   This is the top of the INFO tree

  This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
  Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here,
  "h" gives a primer for first-timers,
  "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc.

  In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference
  to select it.
