You can download one of three versions that have been ported to Windows. 
Once you get Quake for DOS installed, go online and look for:

Winquake, GLQuake, or ProQuake.  You can find them all at 
www.planetquake.com.  I'm using ProQuake because it fixes problems that 
vanilla Quake has with NAT routers and firewalls.  But for single player 
only, any one of the three works just fine.  If you want to play online, you 
can also download Quakeworld, which greatly streamlines how Quake runs over 
a network / online.
