I had this exact same issue a few months back (but on mac) when I tried to download the odot project files for the active record course and get it working on my machine. I'll be honest with you and say that it ended with me taking the active record course without ever running rspec and just diligently following along, but maybe my answer might inspire great things in you or cause one of our fellow learners to correct me ;)

So I was on a different operating system, but I notice that you are getting the same message I did about rspec/capybara not being able to load. You may want to check to make sure you have the capybara gem or the correct version of capybara meaning you might have to install a certain version of the gem that is different from the one used in the project videos. What this might mean for you is that it may not actually be a windows specific issue and seeking out info regarding rspec and capybara might lead to your answer.

I'm sorry I don't have a more concise or definitive answer for you. I hope you can get this resolved, but even if not, don't let it stop you from learning and pushing forward!
