switching to windows.

hi, I've been trying to switch to windows without boot camp ad its not supported on my Mac, but I have no idea how. I don't know how a usb would work as the only outlet things I have on my Mac are the small oval ones (like the charger for the Nintendo switch.) I am not great with technology, and I'd appreciate some help. thank you!

MacBook Air, macOS 14.5

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
