I think Windows comes with nmake

  Nope, you have to install developer tools to get it. Usually that means visual studio. Historically they also ship compilers and command line dev tools as a separate package, I'm not sure if that's still a thing. Nmake is also not very compatible with gnu or bsd make.

      Note that while the download page and tools don't perform license checks, you are supposed to have a visual studio license to use that package[1]. It is intended as an easy way for VS customers to install tools on build machines and the like without doing a full VS install, not a way for non-customers to get a free compiler. Individuals can get a free license to VS community that would include this package[2], but commercial use requires a paid license.
