But how do I install windows on my M1 Mac? (Boot Camp Does Not Support, and I don't want to use a VM.)

I want to, my school applications support Windows. But I use a mac, I lookup the article which says, using Boot Camp, but my M1 mac does not support it. I don't want to use a VM, but a proper windows installation. (I even got a product key until I realised my mac does not support bootcamp.)

You either use the Arm64 version of Windows in the Parallels VM, or you replace this Mac with another computer that supports the way you want to boot and run Windows. Microsoft does not support native boot on Apple silicon, only Parallels.
