Inside Geoserver installation folder there is a folder called wrapper. This has a Java Service Launcher jsl.exe, renamed as GeoServer.exe

This launcher exe needs a .ini file (exists right there) that contains the configuration for the windows service. Just edit this file if you want to have custom data directory, custom service name, display name, description and you're good to go.
Install tomcat as a windows service and deploy the geoserver war to tomcat. Note you will generally get better performance on a Linux box.
