What you are looking for should be found here:

Control Panel -> System -> Adjust Appearance and Performance of Windows

-> Show Window Contents while dragging. and -> Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing.

Go to Control Panel and type appearance in the search, it's the first result; filed under System.

I think the checkbox you're looking for is Show window contents while dragging.
