node-sass requires node-gyp https://github.com/sass/node-sass#install

node-gyp requires windows-build-tools https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
