VMware Fusion for Mac is free for personal use . https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2024/05/fusion-pro-now-available-free-for-personal-use.html

With a new MacBook, your only answer is virtualisation and an ARM version of Windows. The two most popular packages are the aforementioned VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop. I don't know how much development Fusion is getting these days, Parallels is a more polished and feature filled product in my experience. VirtualBox might be a possibility too, but I don't know how far along their Mac/ARM version is.

 

You won't be able to Bootcamp it, i.e. run Windows on bare metal like you used to be able to do with an Intel MacBook.

I use Parallels on my Macbook Pro - £35 or so a year for a license that lets you make a VM of 8gb.
