Jenkins Master/Slave Windows

Question

Just want a clarification of the following. I am currently in the process of transferring a Bamboo plan into a Jenkins one and everything was working fine up until the point I ran a Python script on my CentOS Virtual Machine. The reason being that Python wants to import a library called winreg which is not available on RedHat distributions.

In order to fix this, I wanted to have my Master be a CentOS machine and my slave be a Windows 10 machine. Is that how it works? Will the plan be built on the Windows 10 machine while the output is handled by the CentOS machine?

Thanks
