First, you need to install the node on the windows:

install IIS by following these steps:

Open control panel
select Programs and Features, click on the link Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on the Internet Information Services checkbox and select iis required features.
open the iis manager from the installed application.

after installing node and iis open command prompt as administrator and enter to the react js application folder.

example:

my react js application is under the C:\windows\system32\

to go to that path use command:

cd C:\windows\system32\my-app

run react app using :

npm start

check that the application is running properly or not.

then run the command:

npm run build

You can see the build folder in your application folder.

now open iis manager.
select server name from the connection pane.right-click on it and select add-website:

in add website windows enter details like site name folder path the port number, IP address, hostname, etc

note: select the build folder when you add the site path.

Open site by click on the browse button from the action pane.

I would just comment, but my reputation is a little low.

The best option for you would be to run IISNode. Supported by MS and available on Github here: https://github.com/Azure/iisnode.
