You will need to install Apache HTTP Server following this link

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/platform/win_compiling.html

Make sure you use the version 2.4 for compatibility. Then you will find the Benchmark in 

.\apache\bin\ab.exe

The recommended installation in Windows is to use Xampp or similar software, but that is the raw Apache HTTP Server installation
