# /MACHINE (Specify Target Platform)

```
/MACHINE:{ARM|EBC|X64|X86}
```
> **`/MACHINE:`**{**`ARM`**|**`ARM64`**|**`ARM64EC`**|**`EBC`**|**`X64`**|**`X86`**}

## Remarks

The /MACHINE option specifies the target platform for the program.
The **`/MACHINE`** option specifies the target platform for the program.

Usually, you don't have to specify the /MACHINE option. LINK infers the machine type from the .obj files. However, in some circumstances, LINK cannot determine the machine type and issues a [linker tools error LNK1113](../../error-messages/tool-errors/linker-tools-error-lnk1113.md). If such an error occurs, specify /MACHINE.
