Anyone using Windows successfully? Redmine 5.x with Windows issue with devkit & mysql2

Coming from using Redmine 3.x and 4.x, has anyone successfully installed Redmine 5.x on windows?

I am constantly running into problems with multiple versions of Ruby devkit (tried most of the latest versions) and multiple versions of mysql2 gem (tried all 5.x versions), 64 & 32bit, on more than one device, multiple kinds of anti-virus vs anti virus exceptions applied, etc.
The latest Ruby version that seems to work fine is 2.7.6, which is now no longer supported.
On some machines I have more issues with the devkit than on other machines depending on versions and 32bit/64bit, but mysql2 gem is always a problem on everything.

A solution could be the latest Bitnami Redmine stack.
In the past it was divided for the different OS, for example Linux, Windows, MacOS but recently they made a new solution - .ova virtual image of the Bitnami Redmine, so it could be easily installed with few steps with some software for virtualization, for example VirtualBox.

There is an article with screenshots and video demonstration in the end how to install it:) → https://www.redmineup.com/pages/help/installation/Redmine-Bitnami-virtual-image-ova-virtualbox
