WD Discovery not installing on Windows 11 and stuck at 18%. Help?

Hello, I have a new computer (I literally set it up yesterday) that runs Windows 11 (I did not update the computer to 11, it came with it). I’ve tried installing the software several times, but it says it fails at 18% installation. I’ve tried restarting my computer and turning my antivirus off. Here are the specs of the computer (I don’t know if it will help):

Windows 11 Home
64 bit

I’m trying to transfer my files from my old school computer onto a new school computer. How do I fix the problem? Thanks.

Edit:
I’ve looked at this article (WD Discovery Failure to Install on Windows). It says that it won’t install if it is using an ARM based CPU. I looked it up, and it says that it is using an ARM based CPU. There isn’t a solution for this. Can I still install it if I have an ARM based CPU?
