Laragon is probably the best solution according to me.
But some friends prefer Docker.

Laravel dev in Windows - Laragon vs Docker?
What's the best windows dev experperience? Herd is mac only, so that's out. I usually go native, but I like the option to be able to change PHP / DB versions easily. I've had performance issues with Docker and so I'm not thrilled about investing the hours necessary to solve that - I just want to write code. What's your go to for windows?

I used to use Homestead and it was good until it wasn't. After I tried with Docker and that was not a easy couple days trying to get that to work, but what I ended up doing was Docker with Laradock and that has really worked for me. I haven't used Laragon in a while but I remember it was easy to use and setting up new project was really easy, however I don't know about using different php versions as I personally never had to.
