Microsoft recommend #2 - though x64 not x86.

I have a tablet PC with an ARM processor running Windows 10, and I'd like to compile programs for it, but I want to run the compiler on a different machine. Compilers are never available natively for ARM, including Visual Studio, and emulation is super slow. I would especially like to avoid MinGW if at all possible.
- Is it possible to run Visual Studio Code on Linux and produce an executable compatible with Windows on ARM?
- Would it be simpler to run Visual Studio on Windows (x86) and produce an executable compatible with Windows on ARM?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
