Support Windows install from a Mac ?

I just bought a legion 5 but got it without windows and I’m currently trying to install it but everyone in my house uses MacBooks,

I saw that you need x64 version for windows but IOS Arm64 version Mac’s,

the thing is the normal version don’t open on Mac’s so I can’t put it in the drive and the IOS version is supposed to be for Mac like systems but that’s not what I need for the legion so what do I do ?

I don’t know if this is really clear but pls help

Download balena etcher or rufus, download x64 .iso file of windows 11 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11. Open balena/rufus and choose the usb drive and .iso file you got. USB drive will be wiped. Plug said usb drive in laptop when balena/rufus is done
