I want to know what the right choice for a download is:
Laptop: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
I now have to:
64-bit x86 or
64-bit ARM64
choose? (happy to explain why)
That depends on your processor.
If it is an ARM processor, choose ARM64, otherwise x86.
Which processor do you have?
If ARM then of course ARM64
Okay, unfortunately I can't find where to find out under Windows 10?
Press the bottom left of the Windows button, search bar: Control Panel → System and Security → System, it says which one you have
Open a command line ([Windows key] + R → "cmd" → Enter) and enter the following command:
echo "% PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
That should give you a string. If it contains "poor" then it is an ARM architecture.
Great thanks, AMD64 was spat out directly to me!
(Unfortunately it is not listed under system)
