Can the M1 mac run windows x86? I read that it would only run the ARM architecture

Nope, M1 cannot run any X86 OS except certain ARM OS which adapted for M1. Why you want to run Win10 on M1 specifically?

    well, it was come with Windows 11 if you tried before... But for Win10 it also works you will have to download it separately.

    I see... Then I would suggest you to using a Intel Mac or regular Windows 10 machine with either Intel or AMD processor to do your work.

    I am basically working on a robot project that has initially been programmed using windows and MATLAB and the team wishes to continue with the same. I downloaded windows 11 ARM preview and am running it on my M1 using parallels. However, the windows are unable to detect prolific devices that I connect to my MAC. I did download and install the specific drivers but they just wouldn't show up, primarily because those drivers are built for windows 10 and earlier versions.
