You need an analog video capture device. These are often part of video
display adapter cards, a called VIVO(video in/video out) feature. There are
also some USB devices you can plug the the VCR into and the video is
transferred to the PC as MPEG-2 files. If you have one of these devices
MovieMaker will offer it as an option in the capture dialog. The devices
often come with video editing software.

Bottom line is:
Analog VCR tape --> Computer (with video in)

There are several ways to add a video in to a computer, but many computers
do not include video in.
