From the official emacs manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq-w32.html

2.1 Where can I download Emacs?

Pre-compiled versions are distributed from ftp.gnu.org mirrors. Emacs
binaries are distributed as zip files, digitally signed by the developer
who built them. Generally most users will want the file
emacs-24.5-bin-i686-pc-mingw.zip for the 32-bit build, and
emacs-24.5-bin-x86_64-w64-mingw32.zip for the 64-bit build. 

However, there's no 64-bit emacs for windows on
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/

So please provide 64-bit Emacs for Windows, or modify the emacs manual.

(I am using Emacs 64-bit for Windows built by a third-party.)
Thank you.

Best regards,
Nick
