New WampServer install - questions (1 reply)

I'm trying to set up a local web server on a Windows 10 64-bit laptop. I haven't done this in over 10 years. My ultimate goal is to install a Joomla 3.10.11 site (https://rockridgencpc.com) locally so I can rebuild it in Joomla 4.x with a new theme, because the theme I'm using in Joomla 3.10 isn't supported on Joomla 4.

I've downloaded the installer for WampServer 3.3.0 X64. My C: drive is a 2 TB flash drive with lots of space. Assume there are no tools on my system except whatever Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables came with the original win10 install. Visual Studio 2017 seems to be installed, although there is an installer and a folder full of command prompts for developer, native tools, and cross tools.

I assume from my reading that I have to install everything WampServer needs, before installing WampServer. What is the recommended order? Do I do the Visual C++ updates first? WHICH Visual C++ updates - I've seen several lists, and the list in "all you need to know about WampServer 3" is dated 2016.

Does the order in which I install Apache, PHP, and MySQL matter? Do the versions of these matter, or just the latest? I would greatly appreciate any advice on this.
