Somebody has just asked a question in a Windows FB group. He wants to know
if he types "HI" in to an app it can automagically be changed to "Hello"
which he says his Mac does.

I've not come across it before, any comments?

Comments? I mean, it definitely does that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which I got by typing in *shrug* as I have a system text replacement for
it. System Settings, Keyboard, Text Replacement. They sync to my other
Macs, iPhone and iPad too.

Doesn't work everywhere; notably some webapps-disguised-as-apps use
their own text methods not the system provided ones. But those generally
suck anyway, so.

OK, thanks, never used it on my Macs :-)

Is there anything similar for Windows? Nearest I can think of is something
like auto correct in Word.

I recently discovered TyperText (free) which I now use. It works with
WIN10 and may be what you need.

Their example text file gives:
hth=Hope this helps
mysig=Best Regards,{enter}-Bob Smith

Hence typing 'hth' replaces it with 'hope this helps'

Typing 'mysig' replaces it with:
Best Regards
-Bob Smith

My most useful addition is 'Alt+G' reveals my email address. (saves
lots of time)

(NB What I don't understand is that TyperText standard has just three
files, whereas TyperTaskPortable has 25 files in 13 folders.)
