If you are running Windows 11 on ARM (Snapdragon), you must use the emulation layer. The native 64-bit EXE is designed for x64 architecture.
If you are specifically searching for a "64-bit" version, you are likely running a modern operating system like Windows 10 or Windows 11. The 64-bit architecture allows software to utilize more system RAM (beyond the 4GB limit of 32-bit systems). For CAD users, this is critical.
