On windows, I have two source files and want to create a patch with difference, like this one. But I'm unsure, what format this patch is and what app to use in order to create it? GNU diff output is very different from the patch I can see in the link above.

Try WinMerge. You'll find a patch generator in the "Tools" menu.
