The Windows ARM support in Qt (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows.html) is 
currently in technical preview, and applications have to be 
cross-compiled from an x86-64 Windows machine and deployed to target. 
With upcoming Qt 6.8, Windows on ARM will one of the standard desktop 
platforms supported in Qt. However, I didn't find any instruction on how 
to do the cross-compile.
