I'd like to ask HN a very vaguely related question. I need to get a self-hosted runner (for GitHub Actions) that is capable of running Windows ARM64. What are my options other than buying a machine and do everything manually? Are there any service providers that offer Windows ARM64 VMs? I can only seem to find options for Linux.
Microsoft offers Windows on ARM servers. Could slam the Windows ARM ISO on a 3rd party VPS as well.
In case you don't already know, there are Github-hosted runners that run Windows arm64 [1]
Also, it's not what you're asking, but self-hosted runners are a security nightmare if you don't have the hardware to completely isolate them from your local network.

Your best bet is probably Azure. Otherwise you can spin up an AWS graviton VM and install windows on it yourself.
