If you want to install Oracle SQL Developer on your Windows computer for free, check if you meet the requirements and then go through the instructions mentioned here.

I know you can install Windows 11 for ARM in Parallels and then run Visual Studio and SQL Server on top of that (with ARM-x64 emulation, I guess?), but IIS support was missing last I checked.

Microsoft has sent its SQL Server on Windows Containers Beta program to the shadow realm. Not only is it indefinitely pausing support, but it's also deleting docker hub repos.

That public preview is part of the launch of the next version of SQL Server, which will be the first one that’s available for both Windows and Linux.
