I was doing some experiments with windows (32-bit) builds of jdk8 in github actions in the past using vs2010express.  (Visual Studio 2010 is mentioned for windows in README-builds.html) When I tried my old code, and have found, that it no longer works (simple steps to install vs2010express no longer work, caused by dead MS links [1]). However, after some experimentation, I was able to install vs2010express from iso (from webarchive) and now it works again.

My basic (cleaned up) github workflow which does 32-bit build of openjdk8 using vs2010express can be found here. [2]
(feel free to use any of that code)
