Download & install notes
- Prefer .exe or .msi; a .zip is usually the portable build — unpack and run, no registry entries or shortcuts.
- Unsigned installers trigger SmartScreen. Once you have confirmed the file comes from the official GitHub Release, choose "More info → Run anyway".
- On arm64 devices (Surface, Snapdragon laptops) pick the build with arm64 in its name; x64 builds only run under emulation.
