An Android spyware app runs on the Android operating system, you didn't specify what operating system your laptop is running so presumably it's running Linux, OS X/MacOS, or Windows, so no, if you're specifically asking about a spyware app it cannot install itself on a different operating system.
But there is a much more likely problem that is not tied to any specific operating system or device -- if your email account or some online service account (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) is compromised in some way, than that will be a more extensive problem that's not specific to your phone or your laptop but your online presence. Use different and safe passwords for each online account, and when available two-factor account logins.

Spyware is not apk file , if spyware is any trojan file. Then there are chances of transfer to windows OS??

Well the trojan would have to be a Windows executable to do that. Android doesn't know what to do with those of course, and so would just ignore it. Android only knows how to install and run APK files.

Again, no. If you copy an apk file to your Windows laptop that's completely irrelevant. An apk is file that runs on an Android operating system, not a Windows operating system. Those are two completely different operating systems. To make an Android app even work on a Windows system the source code has to be re-compiled, and that's just a simplification as there's a lot more involved as the two operating systems also run on different hardware types.
I think you should worry more about securing your phone (use a lock screen) and securing your online accounts than non-existent problems like transferring an Android spyware app to a Windows laptop.

You can keep asking the same question but the answer is still the same.
You're focusing on spyware so once more, the answer is still NO. Spyware that affects Android isn't going to be able to run on a Windows system. Neither can Windows spyware run on Android. They are two entirely different operating systems and the interchangeability that you apparently believe is a problem just isn't a real issue.
