WAC on ARM processors

Is there a way to run WAC on Windows 11 ARM? The installer does not run, indicating that an X64 processor is required.

    Hi, currently, windows admin center (wac) is not compatible with windows 11 on arm because the installer requires an x64 processor and will not run on arm64 architectures, even with windows 11 arm's x64 emulation. The simplest solution is to install wac on another pc or server running windows x64 and access it remotely via a browser. Just install windows admin center on a compatible computer, open the browser on your windows arm device, and connect to the wac remote address to manage everything without needing a local installation
