Does R have an ARM64 installer?

I got a new laptop from Best Buy a couple days ago and need to reinstall R.

The issue is that its an ARM type of machine (snapdragon processor instead of the more common intel/AMD processor). It uses the ARM64 runtime installer rather than the standard x64 or x86 installer that a lot of programming languages uses (mainly for Intel/AMD machines). Both machines uses Windows 11 as the OS.

Anyway I have a bunch of .r and .rmd files that I can easily transfer over from my old laptop to the new one via USB Flash drive, but will there be a compatibility issue as the old machine used Intel processor wheras this new one has the Snapdragon X processor?
