He typically just dual-boots windows anyway so selection isn't much of an issue, though I also don't know if that is working yet on the M1 platform

Dual booting isn't working and likely not any time soon as Microsoft does not intend to support Apple M1 [1]. And I doubt Apple have intention to port their GPU Metal Drivers to Windows. ( Compared to using AMD Drivers on Windows in the old days )

He will likely need to use some sort of VM solution like Parallel. [2]
