In order to install PHP extensions on Windows you either need to download precompiled DLL from PECL, or compile the code yourself.

As of writing this answer precompiled DLLs for mcrypt are only available for version 1.0.4 and older. Newest release, version 1.0.5 which is compatible with PHP 8.2.0 only has source code listed, which means you'll have to compile it yourself: https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.windows.php

Alternatively, you might want to try to use this polyfill library instead: https://github.com/phpseclib/mcrypt_compat
