You don't need Qt Creator and Qt Web Engine compiled with the same compiler 
that you use for your own application. Since there's at least one compiler 
supporting Qt Web Engine on Window, we should conclude that Windows is 
supported.

Ah, but this is an issue: assistant. See the thread about co-installability of 
Qt 5 and Qt 6: is assistant as a standalone application still required? You're 
saying it is.
