[GNC] Windows x64 release builds are missing

[Geoff]

Clarification:

Windows 10 end of life is not until 14th October 2025 according to 
Microsoft:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro

"Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current 
version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions 
will remain in support with monthly security update releases through 
that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates 
beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles."


Windows 11 *itself* is only available as 64 bit, but it does support 32 
bit applications (like GnuCash).


And Windows 12 is looming, but the rumour mills are not predicting any 
major architectural changes: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=windows+12

We don't "officially" support operating systems after EOL so I guess at some point after that we can switch to 64-bit builds on Windows.
