64 bit version of Visual Studio 2015? [closed]

Question

This might not be the right place to ask this, but I am going to give it a shot anyways...

I bought Visual Studio 2015 Professional, for some reason when I followed the download link it was only giving me the option to download 32bit.exe or 32bit.iso, well I want a 64bit version.

So then I logged into visualstudioonline and downloaded the ISO from there and still wasn't given an option to choose whether I want a 32bit version or a 64bit version. Yes, my laptop is 64bit and so is the Windows 10 OS that I am running.

I have called Microsoft and spent a glorious 4 hours being transferred all over the world a total of 15 times and having to repeat myself 15 times only to be transferred again and to no avail.

So can anyone tell me where I can get a 64bit version of Visual Studio 2015?

Thanks.

All the references I'm finding - although some are 4-years old or older - indicate that there is no 64-bit version (at least not yest). Here's a reference on stack overflow: Visual Studio 64 bit? and an external one: http://www.viva64.com/en/k/0025/

This list from Microsoft of requirements for VS 2015 doesn't mention 64-bit processors at all: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/visual-studio-2015-system-requirements-vs#2
