Trust Wallet, ~~Metamask, imToken~~ I use it myself, you can see the description on the Internet and how and with what it is compatible.

Trust Wallet is not the right wallet used to store coins, especially Bitcoin. Trust Wallet is a wallet that falls into the category of wallets that should be avoided in my opinion because it is closed source.
Using a wallet with closed source does not guarantee the security of the assets we store.

Trust Wallet is indeed a wallet that can store several types of crypto, but it is very risky because it is not open source.
If you want a wallet that can store several crypto assets, there is the Unstoppable Wallet which I recommend for you to use.

Metamask and imToken wallets are not bitcoin wallets, they are altcoins wallets.

Trustwallet support bitcoin, but it is a close source wallet. Even assuming trustwallet is a open source wallet (not close source), it will still be one of the worst bitcoin wallet because it is not supporting RBF and CPFP. No coin control. You can not connect it to a hardware wallet.

While close source wallets are not recommended, there are still more features that are not on Trustwallet.

Standalone Executable
Windows Installer
Portable version (security advice)

What option I should download and use it on my Windows computer?

Use Electrum that Windows Installer only on a computer rather than using Portable electrum.
Make sure your computer is completely safe.
Make sure you have to pay attention to the location of the wallet because it will be needed when you back up the wallet file.

The difference between three options you can see at the link shown by Charles-Tim.

Non-custodial BTC Wallet

You can use the standalone version if you don't want to install anything. You will have a single file/folder which will have everything you need. This is a nice option imo.

You want to install it on your Windows computer? Use Windows installer.
