Help setting up Bitcoin Core node with Tor hidden service (Windows)

I am trying to run my full node through a Tor hidden service but most guides are for Linux/Ubuntu. ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Setting_up_a_Tor_hidden_service )

Here's where I'm at:

  1. I downloaded the latest Tor Expert Bundle and extracted it.
  2. Tor was setup to run as a service that initiates on startup.

And that is as far I have gotten.

These guides indicate I need to get a web server working, but I don't see how that is needed for Bitcoin Core.

I also found an old post here, but the user did not write down the steps after successfully connecting to Tor:

Any help is appreciated!
