    You can receive traps on Windows. The collector by default sets this up.
    You can check by going into Settings -> Collectors then Manage Collector.
    In there check the collector config.

    # SnmpTrap
eventcollector.snmptrap.enable=true
eventcollector.snmptrap.threadpool=10
eventcollector.snmptrap.address=udp:0.0.0.0/162

    You need an event source enabled and working tho to see see the traps and have them create alerts.
