Here's some more ideas. Some programming languages have a banner with featured downloads, and extra guidance text recommending 64-bit over 32-bit.

Node.js

For example, Node.js has the 64-bit Windows installer, a macOS installer and the source tarball above the full table:

Go

Similarly, Go shows the 64-bit Windows installer next to macOS installers and Linux and source tarballs. These files are also in bold in the full table:

Ruby

The Ruby installer for Windows puts the 64-bit installer in bold next to an arrow, along with "Not sure what version to download? Please read the right-hand column for recommendations" which recommends 64-bit, and doesn't recommend the 32-bit:

The PHP for Windows page puts the 64-bit downloads first, and in bold:

Further down in the left sidebar a recommendation for x64 builds:
