Some things I have used in the past, but on the latest Windows, using
WSL running an actual Linux distro is the closest you will get to ssh
on windows being the same as ssh on linux. WSL can do the Xterm also.
So, I would probably use WSL running a Linux distro if you have it.
Alternatively
1) putty
2) pscp
3) winscp   (does scp and sftp)
4) cygwin (has ssh and xterm)
5) Xming
6) Windows RDP to a Linux box running xrdp, thus not needing windows
to do X at all.
