Are those the system requirements for the software you use? If so, this is an issue:


- Processor: 3.2GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W processor,


if that is the only processor the software can use. The last Mac that used Xeon processors, the Mac Pro (not iMac Pro) was discontinued a year ago. The iMac Pro with Xeon processor was discontinued over three years ago.


If shopping for a new computer, you need to contact the software developer to see if they support Apple Silicon. If they do not, you'll need to shop for a Windows computer.


I checked the Apple refurb site and none of the refurbed Mac Pro models currently available have Xeon processors.
