This depends on how you want to "connect" them. If you install and configure Samba on the laptop, it can share files with Windows. If you are not interested in sharing files, but just want to control the laptop from within Windows, install an SSH server on the laptop, and connect to it from Windows using puTTY.

How do you install Linux terminal on windows?

I am assuming you mean either a POSIX shell or a way to SSH into a Linux box. A POSIX shell is as simple as installing MinGW, which will usually also provide BASH, usually for scripts. For SSH you can just use PuTTY and connect to your Linux box (Assuming it has an SSH server running.) that way.
