 Visual Studio enables you to set up your application builds to target different platforms (processor architectures), including Arm64 and other platforms. You don't need to be running Visual Studio on a platform in order to build for that target platform. For more information about Arm64 support in Visual Studio, see [Visual Studio on ARM-powered devices](../install/visual-studio-on-arm-devices.md). For 64-bit platform support for .NET development, see [64-bit applications](/dotnet/framework/64-bit-apps).

-> Visual Studio 2022 runs as a 64-bit application. This is totally separate from the platforms you can target for your projects in Visual Studio. You can use any version of Visual Studio to target both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
