What version of Windows?

A noble goal, but I'm afraid you're likely to be disappointed.

Windows 7 and earlier can't do EAP-TTLS/PAP natively.

Pretty much the only options available by default on both are
EAP-TLS or PEAP/EAP-MSCHAPv2. The latter is ruled out if you have
passwords in SHA1, so you're just down to certificates. Which
requires provisioning on the clients.
