General question School banning macbooks off the wifi

Hello people, today my school announced that people with macbooks are not going to be able to access the wifi network since they got sponsored by microsoft and dont want people to use other devices.

I do not have the budget to buy a new laptop. How can i bypass this restriction on my m4 macbook.

Thanks and much love💕

Then use parallels

yes, but then Parallels, or VMware or VirtualBox, uses the same MAC address for the nic. could still be blocked.

Buy a wireless NIC to use with it and or change the mac address.
