This means we don't have to put our files in c:\wamp64\www.

Edit Wamp config file: C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

Create a virtualhost at end of file (in this case pointing to the public folder of a Laravel setup) e.g.:
<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/Projects/MYPROJECTNAME/public"
    ServerName MYPROJECTNAME.local
    ServerAdmin xxx@xxx.com
    
     <Directory "c:/wamp64/www/MYPROJECTNAME/public">
          AllowOverride All
          Require local
     </Directory>
          
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile "c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.37/conf/key/certificate.crt"
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.37/conf/key/private.key"
</VirtualHost>

Restart Wamp services

Add a hosts entry pointing to your custom domain in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts: MYPROJECTNAME.local
