I have a 12 week uni course on 3D modelling with 3DS Max. I spent over 4K on my M1 MacBook Pro in 2021 and apparently can’t run this program. Is there a way I can get through the course? Don’t want to get a PC for 12 weeks…

Is this PC Software?
Using Windows-Only Software On a Mac:
Use a Virtual Machine:
You'd have to use a Virtual Machine for this. All would be accessed and would operate as desired on the VM. Virtual Machine applications include VMWare Fusion and Parallels.

I was just looking at a renewed Windows laptop on Amazon for $125US. For a 12weeks course, that should be sufficient ... not to mention cheap. I'd consider it just a cost of the course.
You can likely recoup some of it cost by reselling it.
Indeed, Parallels and Windows 11 emulation works but is a little laggy with medium scenes with 3d Max 2023.
You can consider renting a pc on a cloud, like shadow. I use it and it work very well with 3ds max, very good on mac book pro 2017 but not so good on ipad pro 2021, dont know why... a shadow PC come with windows already installed. You have to be conneceted to internet with a robust connection.

"Yes PC software. I have installed parallels but stuck at purchasing windows 11 for 12 weeks! I asked someone who has helped a student install these but he could not guarantee the work as his was a 2019 MacBook. Apparently Autodesk does not support this workaround on M1, but wanted to check here as well."

Contact Microsoft:
If you cannot successfully purchase Windows, then you need to contact Microsoft for assistance. Start Here: Microsoft Contact Us Virtual Agent - Microsoft Support. Perform a chat session with Microsoft using a computer, as it would be more user-friendly doing so.
you can't
your only option is to installed it via parallels (but this is not intuitive solution) you will face a lots of lags even on small projects

No I don’t want to purchase windows for a 3 month subject. Can I not just run 3DS on parallels without installing?
im looking for a magic bullet here. I only need it for 3 months and need to know if anyone has run 3DS on an M1 MacBook or do I need to find a PC?
Sorry for jumping into the conversation like this but I have a similar problem and wanted to ask: if you rent a PC in the cloud, how would you go about installing 3ds Max (or any other software) in the cloud PC?
And also, a derived question: does anyone know of a place where I can take a 3ds Max course in the cloud? Meaning, I’d connect to a remote computer running the software using anydesk or similar?
Thanks!
