I have a MacBook Pro (14-inc, 2021); Apple M1 Pro, can I install Windows OS and How? if that is not possible, Is there alternate option to install MS Power BI app to my MacBook?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3
You can't obtain the ISO directly from Microsoft, except through Insider Preview, and I would avoid that. If you select "New" in Parallels, you see the following:
Select "Get Windows 11 from Microsoft" and the ISO is downloaded. I am told this does not come directly from Microsoft but from Parallels, and it is described as a "Retail-OEM" version. It will request activation after a short time, no problem if you have a valid key. Has been working for me since the release in November 2021, but make sure everything works well for you before you pay for anything.

no, and no not really, well one can remote desktop/teamviewer/vnc to a windows machine and operate windows that way
the new cpu from apple used the ARM cpu architecture where the version of windows microsoft sells rely on the
intel x86/x64 cpu architecture
if you want to know more

if windows is mission critical fore you sell the macbook and get one with an intel cpu
I read there is no native version for mac and Windows doesn't support M1 ARM architecture
(Currently there is a dev version of Windows ARM edition, but it's not approved for use on M1 yet)
one option could be setting up a virtual machine via a software like Parallels if you really need the windows environment. I'm not sure you would need the ISO for windows but if you do you can download from the Microsoft website, think windows 11 is the only one with a direct download w/o a tool, activation isn't necessary but if you have a key and an ISO ready go ahead.

This application would work for the time being though to get you working.
