When I enter a USB drive on Windows I if it doesn't have a partition that is recognised by Windows and tools such as Disk Management say "No Media" or File System Unknown.
On Linux I can use tools like fdisk to confirm what kind of file system is present. What options are there to do this on Windows?
Windows has very limited support for file systems.
ext2/3/4 and other Linux file systems are not supported. Only NT based file systems such as FAT, Fat16/32, exFAT, and NTFS.
diskpart and Disk Management can show volume information such as size but nothing else. Third-party programs can be much more helpful.
