Windows 10: Program installation blocked by an administrator when I am one. Windows 10 64-bit

I tried installing a clearone configuration program and experienced a popup that stated that the installation was blocked by an administrator. The system was loaded by someone from a company after my hard drive crashed and was unrecoverable. I am listed as an administrator. I have no idea why it won't let me install. I have right clicked on the file and made sure that the user permission was given. Any ideas?

Windows 10 64 bit will not allow install of 64 bit programs

I recently purchased a Surface Pro X and I am trying to install some programs but they are not allowing me to install due the program requiring a 64 bit Operating system.

I have checked my System information and I am definitely running 64 bit windows

"System type: 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor"

Why is it not recognizing that it is 64 bit? Do i need to upgrade to Pro to get 64 bit?
