I guess this is what you are looking for: Admin -> Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> Advance -> System -> Mail Sending Setting

@sameh_khalilI could not understand where the windows come from. This are the settings in Magento. If you  have already done those setting and still not receiving email then please check if you have SMTP configured on your server. If you do then please create a test file to check if email server is configured properly and you are able to send email from your server.

If needed please coordinate with the support to get the smtp / email working.

Hi please let me explain it like this. Following is a screenshot from the Mail Sending settings. the host name and Port number are highlighted in red and both are for Windows only while my Magento is installed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) not windows so how can I configure it to send emails.

You can run a Virtual Server with windows server also in Google Cloud and then export the data from the original store to the new installation.

I think the best server solution for Magento is Nginx
