Sure, it’s easy:

1) If you just want to type form time to time and do _not_ want to enhance your system, MS Windows, for Russian typing, then you can use modern Virtual Keyboard

http://Kbd.WinRus.com where:

– you type usual way, using your physical keyboard (thought you can use mouse, too)
– you choose desired _layout_ in the menu under the image – Standard layout or Phonetic layout (when you press Latin ‘A’ to get Russian ‘A’, O-O, E-E,,,.)

2) Or you can tune-up your system, MS Windows, for Russian typing by using Control Panel and adding Russian keyboard layout (as you would add French or Spanish) and then you can type Russian using system keyboard tools –

this way you can add either Standard layout for Russian or Phonetic.

This MS Windows tune-up is covered (for a novice) in the section
“TYPING RUSSIAN ON ANY KEYBOARD” on the site devoted to Russian (Cyrillic) under a non-Russian MS Windows outside of Russia:
