Wanted to let you know it works now - ultimately need to use a 64 bit version on windows (so wamp 64). Not sure why it didn't work the other day but I probably just went to the wrong link and mistook it.

xampp for windows is only 32 bit - you can get that working for dates up to 1901 if you comment out:
if ( false === $i ) {
$i = current_time( 'timestamp', $gmt );
}
in the /wp-includes/functions.php date_i18n function - but just go with wamp and make sure to set the php version to the highest available.

I've tried a few things now as I'm running into the issue of not being able to enter dates before 1970- I've got both xampp 32 bit and wamp 64 bit installed and have tried using the latest wordpress available as well as version 4.9.9 in both of those.

Does this still work for you? If so what version of wordpress are you using and can you tell me further details on your stack? I'm running this on win7 locally as well which could be the problem. Any insight you can give me would be helpful!
