So which one is used on Windows 11.

arm64, or x64?

System information is showing ARM as the architecture 

UPDATE: I downloaded and installed the ARM64 version. Seems to work fine...  No difference that I can see. INteresting.

oh, and can the Windows Store tell the difference?

Performance should be better than the x64 that runs in emulation

That depends on your particular hardware, not whether it's Windows 11 or not

Yes, seems to be ok. I'm wondering - Does the Windows Store see the difference and download the correct version?

I just said so, yes

Windows 11 can run on both ARM64 and x64 architectures. If your system shows ARM, it means it’s using the ARM64 version. The Windows Store can differentiate between ARM64 and x64 apps, ensuring compatibility with your device. ARM64 offers benefits like better battery life but may have some limitations with app compatibility.

Thanks guys. Well answered.I'm running the apps on Windows 11 on Parallels on the M2 Mac, and it behaves flawlessly.
