in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/
p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Although it might not be expressly stated, on the Adobe web site you can assume that if you don’t see Classic in the name, Adobe is not talking about Lightroom Classic, only cloud Lightroom.
As far as I know, based on the available public documents like the one you linked to, at this time Lightroom Classic does not run natively on Windows PCs with Snapdragon X processors, which are based on ARM instead of Intel x86. Hopefully, Lightroom Classic will be included in the Adobe statement further down on that page: “Adobe is actively working to bring more Creative Cloud apps to Copilot+ PCs that run on Snapdragon X Series processors. ” So maybe it’s just a matter of waiting a little longer.
At this time, the only ARM-based processor that Lightroom Classic runs on natively is the Apple M series, probably because those started coming out four years ago. I can’t remember exactly but I think it was the same situation: Classic didn’t run natively at first, but the native version was eventually released.

Native support for Apple Silicon on LrC came in 10.3 (June 2021), which is 7-8 months after the first M series Macs were released.
