I was researching for converting my Spring-Boot application into windows service, i was recommended to use either YAJSW or NSIS, can anyone please explain the difference between two?
Difference between YAJSW (Yet Another Service Wrapper) and NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)

NSIS is mainly a installer utility for other applications. While it does have some plug-ins for installing/starting/stopping services, it cannot be used to create a "Java application as a service" per se. You could use it as a generic Java application launcher and let the Java application itself call the service functions but it is probably a better idea to just use tools specifically built for this task.
