Is it possible to set up 2fa/yubikey with only with a windows laptop?

To use a yubikey, it seems like you have to enable 2FA. It seems the only way to enable 2FA is to download authy or a microsoft phone app down to the phone. This seems to create a set of trust...

Thanks, GreyM1P, you've been immensely helpful.

Excellent point on Authy. It's loaded, running, working and with the points you mentioned, we're good here.
Thanks for the link btw. I'm a little overwhelmed by all this (gee, can you tell) so it will be studied.

While the Yubi is a 5C nfc, and the phone is a fairly recent Moto-G, it doesn't have nfc.
So I bought a USB A to C adapter, and the phone does now see the Yubi.

But none of my accounts {bank, credcard, invest, or stock) seem to support it !?!. They only seem to support sms 6 digit code.
I'll look into Amazon, but, so far only my personal account here at 1Password is using this.

Thanks so much for all your help.
