    The current version of macOS only works on Apple silicon, which at it's core is ARM hardware, while the Windows drivers you want to use only support x86-64. I would normally suggest running a VM, but there is no legal way, to run Windows 10 on ARM on Apple hardware since there is no legal way to purchase Windows 10 on ARM without purchasing a qualifying device.

    @Ramhound - The current version of macOS works just fine on Intel or Apple Silicon. Windows on ARM is perfectly possible to run legitimately on Apple Silicon too. support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/… Windows on ARM usually does a decent job of emulating X86-64.

    It really doesn't matter, as far as the OP is concerned. Either way, they're going to have to run Windows to use the driver, whether on Boot Camp or in VM.

    Get your university to buy a Windows PC. They don't have to be terribly expensive nowadays. They are certainly cheaper than Macbooks.

    Can you tell us any more specifics about the device itself and what it does ?
