I have just installed a Universal forwarder on a windows server and during the installation I selected the option to index windows event logs and performance logs.
I have checked splunk and can see it indexing performance logs, however it is not indexing the windows event logs. I can see these logs set-up in the following location.
C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\MSICreated\local\inputs.conf
As it is a windows server, do I need to copy in a windows folder where the inputs.conf file can be updated in window\local folder

No you shouldn't need to copy anything if the stanza's are properly enabled in the inputs.conf such as:
[WinEventLog:Application]
disabled = false
[WinEventLog:Security]
disabled = false
[WinEventLog:System]
disabled = false
Have you viewed the splunkd.log
Open the %SPLUNK_HOME%\var\log\splunk\splunkd.log file and search for wmi or error .
