You could try to do this but it would be really a waste of your time and money. The Litecoin hashing algorithm (scrypt) has been mostly taken over by ASIC miners and so the return you get from GPU mining is tiny, compared to the high cost of the electricity you need to use to do it. Maybe if you had free electricity and 40+ GPUs it might be worth it. If that is the case I guess you could use Pimp (getpimp.org) but it isn't Windows it's a custom linux install. Try searching for a scrypt algorithm GPU miner. Honestly, no one has mined litecoin with GPUs since about 2014 I think.

Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL

I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah
