It's not a security analysis tool, but you can use Powershell to view the headers.
(invoke-webrequest http://localhost).headers
How to check the header of a website locally?

Any tool exists to check the header of a website locally? I mean is a Windows tool that offers https://securityheaders.com/ features.
Thank you.

Try looking at the full output or use the -UseBasicParsing switch.

You may use Fiddler to examine the web traffic include Headers, Cookies etc.

Microsoft doesn't have a tool like Fiddler and Postman to check and analyze URL.
But you can use Failed request tracing to check URL. It will show all information about URL.

Are my headers OK?

Define "OK".
The Server header is reporting both IIS and Apache. That seems odd.
Refer to my last answer to your other question.
