Will Windows be available on M1 or M2 Macbooks in the near future? I like to dual boot operating systems, and if the macbook works with Windows, then it will be useful for office purposes
Will Windows be available officially on the M1 or M2 Macbooks in the near future?

Windows on arm is a bit of hit and miss right now. Even more on m1 m2 macs.
Parallels is the top recommended app, but it can only run arm version of windows. Most of your windows stuff probably won't work on this(unless if you have arm alternatives or it's available on ms store and has an arm version). Parallels for m1 can't run x86 windows.
Parallels is a paid app.
Another app is UTM(free), it does support emulating x86 windows but it does not run windows well.

There are some hopes. If I recall correctly, Apple doesn't have problem writing drivers for windows bootcamp. I think the daly is from MS stable. But yeah, you should use parallels rather than waiting for native windows to work on Apple silicon.
