So long as you have the php5-pdo extension installed, there shouldn't be any problem. I don't work on/with Windows so I can't say for certain, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work with WAMP. It's pretty much the de facto standard for all ORMs under the hood, as far as I know.

IDE/editor choice boils down to personal preference in large part. What I use really depends on what I'm doing; Vim or Sublime Text if I'm just making some quick edits, PHPStorm if I'm doing a lot of work and/or working on something more complex. I spend most of my day in PHPStorm.

ORM? Could you explain more that? I did not understand it.

The short answer is that it's an object representation of your data. Each row in your users table will be converted to a User object, as an example. The columns in the DB table become properties of the object, and you can define relationships with other classes, methods to manipulate the properties (data), etc.
