I'd like to run Raspbian in a virtual machine on Windows 8. It is built for the ARM processor on a Raspberry Pi.
Is this possible?

Windows 8 is the first version of Windows to support the ARM architecture, under the Windows RT branding.
The WOW64 layer of Windows allows x86 code to run on the Arm64 version of Windows. x86 emulation works by compiling blocks of x86 instructions into Arm64 instructions with optimizations to improve performance.
there are both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM processors. 64-bit ones can run 64-bit apps and 32-bit - can't. But both 32- and 64-bit ARM processors cannot run apps for PC (for x86 or x86-64 processors) i.e. for typical Intel or AMD processors and vice versa.
Windows on Arm FAQYes, you can already install Windows 11 on Arm-based devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro X. Is there Arm for Windows 10? Yes, Windows 10 was the first version ported to Arm.
Here is a tutorial on how to run Raspberry Pi under windows using QEMU:
