Playing Windows games on Steam

Hi, I just got a Macbook Pro and downloaded Steam on it. However, I can't play half of my games because it says I need Windows. I see that there's a way to do it through Bootcamp but that you have to restart your computer every time you want to play a Windows game, which sounds really annoying. Is there a way to easily play Windows games on Steam for free?

Games I would want to play are:

Sims 4

Among Us

Planet Zoo

Valheim

Stray

If you have an M1/M2 Mac with Apple Silicon, then you cannot use Windows at all to play games since there is no BootCamp support for Apple Silicon. If you want to play those games, then you either need to use an older Mac which meets or better yet exceeds the "Recommended System Requirements". Or use a Windows PC which meets or exceeds the "Recommended System Requirements".
