By default, the latest release or release preview build for the host architecture will be selected. You can change the filter to include pre-release builds as well as server builds. You can collapse the current architecture to find builds for other architectures (i.e. for emulation).
Alternatively, you can also download an older ISO directly from Microsoft (you may have to use Firefox or Chrome to download as Microsoft's website sometimes does not work properly with Safari):

* [Download Windows 11 for Intel Macs](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11)
* [Download Windows 11 for Apple Silicon Macs](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11arm64)

Note that regardless of how you obtain the Windows installer, you must have a valid license from Microsoft to run Windows.
