Only in professional or business versions of Windows, not in the home
version. It is possible a refurbished box has the pro version. There
are also third-party remote desktops for Windows.

SSH can certainly be used the other way around, from Windows to Linux.
Simon Tatham's PuTTY has been available on Windows for many years, and
is an SSH client among other things. There is now an sshd on Windows,
but I haven't tried it. There are various ways of getting a Linux
environment on Windows, such as WSL and Cygwin, but these are probably
overkill for this kind of job.
