If you turn on Auto HDR and the game is dx11 or 12 Windows will simulate HDR. In my experience it does a pretty good job of it. Nvidia has also added a similar feature recently but I think it's still in beta.

This is the difference between PC vs Consoles.
PC Games do not need any HDR support in order to use it. Since the HDR is done between the OS + GPU + Display. You do need a proper HDR supporting Display for HDR usage. The games that do have HDR, those can do HDR with or without any hardware-side HDR, as those do it through software.

I honestly dislike HDR in games like GTAV and RDR2 because everything is way too dark and once HDR is enabled in OS + Display, you can't adjust any Monitor settings because it's all handled by the HDR hardware-side.
