For Windows, check c:\apache\htdocs\index.html

For your Apache 2.x version, might be,

c:\apache2\htdocs\index.html

OR

c:\program files\apache2\htdocs\index.html

Common to your chosen installation directory is,

...\htdocs\index.html

Find index.html and you have found your welcome page.

You might discover installing Indigo Perl, which includes
Apache 1.3x or Apache 2.x version, to be better for Windows
if you like having lots of documentation available and
easy installation of PHP, which is bundled.
