I have never used a Windows-PC, but importing midi into GarageBand is not only a question of the file name extension, it is depending on the format of the midi file that you are trying to import.
In any event, I've tried converting the .mid to a '.mp3' or a '.wav' or a '.aiff', and while I'm able to change the file extension, doing so renders to the file unplayable by anything, either QuickTime or iTunes.
You cannot change the encoding of a midi file by simply changing the extension. The file will remain midi and not change its formats, if you rename it '.aiff'.
Does the notation software you are using ( Tabit ) offer export options, when you export the midi? For example, I am using 'Finale' to create midi files - when I export from Finale with the 'Format 1: All instruments are saved as separate tracks' I can import the midi directly to GarageBand and each instrument appears on its own track, but with 'Format 0: All instruments are saved on a single tracks' the import to GarageBand fails. The 'Format 1' files I can drag directly into GarageBand's timeline and then assign suitable software instruments to the tracks from Instruments browser.
GarageBand understands the file name extension '.mid' as well as '.midi'.
If tabit let's you pick different midi options on export, try if saving in different format will help.

GarageBand User Guide for iPhone
You can import audio and MIDI files from your computer and use them in your GarageBand song. You can add:
- Audio files to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track
- MIDI files to an existing Keyboard or Drums track
- Audio or MIDI files to new tracks
- Audio or MIDI files to your song from iCloud Drive or your iPhone using the Files app
When you import an audio file, it’s converted to a 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth format if the original format is different. Imported audio files don’t follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.
When you import a multitrack MIDI file, GarageBand creates a new Keyboard track for each track in the MIDI file. The total number of resulting tracks cannot exceed 32 tracks. You cannot add multitrack MIDI files to cells in Live Loops.
