I'd suggest mingw64 <https://mingw-w64.org/>.  It is gcc for Windows.

Don't use the original pre-fork mingw - it uses MS VC's C library, which
is badly outdated and has very limited C99 support.  You can also get it
as part of the Msys2 project with all sorts of other useful programs to
make Windows better for development (especially if you are a *nix or
command line kind of person).  <http://www.msys2.org/>

And there are packages for cross-compilation from Linux to Win32/Win64
if you want to go that route.

MSVC has traditionally been a very good C++ compiler, but with weak
support for pure C programming.

I recommend consulting a calendar.  It is several computer generations
since I have had a PC with a floppy drive, and even my floppy disk
coffee cup mat fell apart many years ago.

Floppies never held "several megabytes" - 2.88 was the largest size.
Unless you are talking about ZIP drives or something like that?

There are some people here who like to judge compiler quality on the
size of the package, and they can recommend smaller toolchains.  If you
have particular reason for needing something small, then gcc is not the
compiler to use.  But then, if you needed something small and efficient
you would not be using Windows.

Msys2 and Mingw64 are simple to install.
