Which windows file to choose for AMD Ryzen 9 CPU?
I just bought your 2024 upgrade and want to install on my new PC.
I don't understand why I am offered ARM or Intel as a choice for Windows. I have an AMD CPU. What should I do?

ARM is for RISC CPUs like Snapdragon, which have been appearing in more Windows computers, especially notebooks here.
The AMD Ryzen is a CISC CPU that uses the x86-64 instruction set, the same as Intel's Core i series, which is its natural competitor, so you use the Intel kit.
