If you do not use Linux specific API, yes it will.
Simply build it on Windows. -

Simply build it on Windows.I have build the application on linux.
So without build on windows, will my application run on windows.
Is there way to generate application for windows on linux ?

No.

No.
Or at minimum in practice you need to compile separately on each target for each target.
As a separate matter, if you used Python (PyQt, PySide) your script should work on both platforms. But not so easy to generate distributions for each platform from another platform.

No unless you execute it in the context of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Cross-compilation using MinGW could work but requires to first cross-compile Qt and the dependencies you are using. A virtual machine with Windows on it would likely be simpler.

@JonB means its possible by generating such type of python script.

It is your decision whether you wish to code with Qt in C++ or in Python.

Simply build it on Windows.@jsulm Means i need to install qt on windows and then i need to make that application on it. which will create .exe for my application. And then then that .exe will work on any windows os.

If install qt on windows and then generated .exe .
then is it possible .exe on qt which can run on any windows without installing qt or mingw for qt terminal ?
if not then what extra stuff needed with less amount to run .exe on any windows simply for user ?

@Qt-embedded-developer you can get all dependencies (excluding your own) by using windeployqt tool on the freshly created executable. The process is described here:

Not any Windows. but 8 and 10. Might win 7 but Xp is stone dead.
Also it will need some DLLS with the exe as artwaw explains.
