Hi,
I'm sorry to tell you, that you are running unsupported hardware.
Qualcomm Snapdragon is an ARM processor.
As seen in the hardware requirements (SQL Server 2022: Hardware & software requirements - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn), the supported CPU architectures are limited to Intel and AMD x86-64 CPUs.
Please attempt to install SQL Server Express on supported hardware.
Is there any other way to use SQL SERVER on my Machine.
