SQL Server database on a MacBook Pro M1

I am currently working for a client that typically provides a shell database in Access from their SQL Server Database. Since I'm working on a Mac, that is now not an option unless using Parallels, etc. No Bootcamp because I'm working with an M1 chip. Are there any recommendations for other programs besides purchasing Parallels that will allow me to input data in a similar way to Access on a Mac? This particular issue is all new to me, so I don't have the correct technical terms to even know what to ask for from the database admin for a file format that isn't Access.

Your post has nothing to do with installing SQL Server on an M1 Mac, the subject of this thread.

I wonder if something has changed with recent Windows preview updates and we can no longer install sql server. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this.

Read my initial post above. You are using a test/beta environment that is not available to everyone. The original poster indicated that he needs this for his business. It is never a good idea to use test/beta configurations in a production environment.
