    install the driver on your local machine:

    also are you current on SSMS (v21)?

    Which version of SSMS are you using? SSMS 20 and earlier are 32-bit, and you need the 32-bit version of the driver. (The fact that SQL Server itself is 64-bit is irrelevant.)

    SSMS 21 is 64-bit so that should work, but I have not actually tried it.
