Description:
You cannot install MySQL WorkBench on Windows with an ARM64 Processor.

How to repeat:
Download MySQL WorkBench on a ARM64 processor and try and install it, you will get the processor is inadequate.

Suggested fix:
Download Windows SDK, Install Orca.
Open mysql-workbench-community-8.0.33-winx64.msi with Orca.
Goto LaunchCondition Table
Drop Row that says: Intel >= 5
Save, close
Re-run installation, installs and works fine.

This ISN'T a duplicate of the other ticket, as that is for Mac asking for a Universal build, which you have provided now.

But, Windows has an arm64 version too, for people using a Surface Pro X, a Raspberry Pi 4 or other ARM based SBC, or in my case running WINDOWS on a Mac using Parallels, so I need to install the WINDOWS version, not the Mac version.

So, if you're trying to install it on a WINDOWS PC that runs an Arm64 processor either you'll have to provide another installation for arm64, or do the following to get it installed:

Download Windows SDK, Install Orca.
Open mysql-workbench-community-8.0.33-winx64.msi with Orca.
Goto LaunchCondition Table
Drop Row that says: Intel >= 5
Save, close
Re-run installation, installs and works fine on WINDOWS.
