I think this worked for me on windows 10:
1) Install Linux subsystem on windows 10.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
2) Install Anaconda in there just like installing it on a regular Linux.
https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/linux.html
3) Install openbabel using Anaconda (conda command).
https://anaconda.org/openbabel/openbabel
4) Run Jupyter notebook (an interactive python editor)
5) Import openbabel modules into Jupyter notebook.
