The approach I am currently pursuing uses vcpkg

https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg

In other words:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg --depth=1
cd vcpkg
cmd /c bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

This creates vcpkg.exe in that directory, then:

vcpkg install gmp --triplet=x64-windows

This is slow, and I'm waiting for it to finish to determine if it
produces a suitable result. (For my first attempt, I had used vcpkg
install gmp --triplet=x64-windows-static but that builds gmp.lib not
gmp.dll.)

That said I expect that there would also be some issues with install
paths that I have not yet thought through. (vcpkg creates a zip file,
which it announces on completion of the "install" step. I believe I
will have to unpack that somewhere and configure visual studio to
locate it. Apparently there's another approach using the command
vcpackage integrate install, but that was not sufficient for my visual
studio instance to locate the gmp.h which had supposedly been
installed and integrated.)

FYI,
