The Greek inventor, Hero of Alexandria, invented a wind machine that powered an organ in the First Century CE. Windmills for grinding grain and pumping water were in use in Eastern Persia (now Iraq) in the Ninth Century. Watermills were in use in Ancient Greece in the Third Century BCE.
During the Middle Ages, windmills were used primarily for grinding grain and pumping water.

The first windmills were used for grinding grain and pumping water. In ancient times, windmills were primarily used to grind grain into flour, providing an efficient method for food production. Later on, windmills were also used to pump water from wells and drain marshes.
Windmills
The first windmills were invented for grinding grain to produce flour and for pumping water. A vertical axis system was developed in Persia between approximately 500-900 AD.
older windmills make more energy than newer windmills
