How do I include native macOS fonts, such as Times Roman and Helvetica, into Windows OS?

I am using both macOS Catalina and Windows 10, but I usually use Mac more for work, and Windows for gaming.

I prefer Times Roman over Times New Roman.

I also like Helvetica more than Arial fonts. Sadly, these fonts are not included in Windows OS. Is there a way to manually add them to Windows?

Helvetica can be easily added and found online, however the situation with other built-in macOS fonts, such as Times Roman and others (that are not included in Windows) is a bit harder. I couldn't have found those fonts online.

Is there a way over this, for example copying these fonts from Mac directory to a flash drive, and then adding them to Windows?
