Hi everyone,
I'm new to Drools and I'd appreciate some help with installing Drools Workbench on a Windows system. Additionally, I'd like to understand how to synchronize between Drools Workbench and a Spring Boot microservice containing Drools.

Regarding the Business Central/Workbench installation, there is nothing specific to Windows. 
You can follow the instructions from the Drools documentation [1] (version in URL can vary).

For SpringBoot integration, please refer to [2]. 
The synchronization mechanism depends on what Drools version you want to use, but it is usually done through a centralized GIT repository representing your "source of truth" and a Maven repository which will contain the result of the build and which your SpringBoot application will consume for decision services.

It may also be interesting for you to know that Business Central/Workbench is not provided anymore as part of the most recent Drools version.  Kogito [3] is the umbrella project for it and Business Central/Workbench is replaced with other authoring tools.
