How to install apcu in windows

Question

How can I install APCu in Windows?

I found this. But I need a solution for Windows.

I use PHP 5.5.6 (I have the XAMPP package).

It matters if you use the thread safe or non thread safe version of the DLL. For me only the NTS worked in Windows 10 x64 and PHP 7.4 using the PHP built in server. It was confusing because the error msg PHP gave when run php -i was Unable to load dynamic library 'php_apcu.dll' (tried: ext\php_apcu.dll) as if the file was not there.
