Why not use the Windows Snipping Tool (<WIN>-<SHIFT>-S)? And I don't
see any advantage in converting the mp4 to animated gif format. But
if you really want:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.gif

I suppose, most people already have ffmpeg installed (it is a
command line tool, so it doesn't need to be "installed", but just
copied to your disk), because it is THE all-purpose video tool.
