Allowed certificates are defined in the browser for each browser, yes.

What you did is called a self-signed certificate. Since no browser know
you as SSL authority, you must add you in each browser. I have no idea
how to to this in windows but I'm pretty sure it's well explained on the
web.

Or you could use let's encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/ . That's what I
do and it works great. ,-)
