NunoAriasSilva I have tended to go for 64 bit apps because of my o/s and hence, 64 bit versions of SharePoint Designer, Visio etc however, with the exception of MS Teams, Visual Studio et all are all 32bits so I guess it makes no odds.

MS are simply paying it safe with the 32bit link - be interested in how many peeps have downloaded the 64-bit version of Office from the portal.
