I am failing to install 2.80 blender cam on windows. I would like to know how to install the latest version of Blender cam on Windows. I would appreciate it if you could explain it in detail as you would explain it to a child. And does Blendercam currently support 5-axis CNC?

Hello, there is no guide to install opencamlib on windows which is a blendercam requirement

you can try to adapt the linux steps to run on windows maybe using msys2? mingw?

this are the linux steps https://github.com/vilemduha/blendercam/wiki/Using-BlenderCAM-with-OpenCAMLib https://github.com/vilemduha/blendercam/wiki/Install-opencamlib-into-blender-2.80-on-linux

PD: 4 and 5 axis are experimental features and may not work at all I tried 4 axis without great success

there is another option: install a virtual machine and install linux.... Opencamlib is now required if you would like to use the ballcone cutter

regarding 5 axis I have made some modifications to be able to work with a A and B axis. these are not automatic but you may rotate your model and then make your strategies.... so rotate A 45 degrees, use parallel strategy, rotate 90 use parallel strategy. so it's a compromise, far from perfect usually good for chaining operations.
