I can confirm this, as we just got a Neo, though Windows 11 ARM downloaded from Parallels runs much more efficiently than X86 versions on my other Macs. Good news, if you have to do it you can....

It seems you can run MacOS well, or you can run Windows well, just not both at the same time.

But can someone answer: if you buy an external TB drive, can you run Windows without using space on the internal drive? Or use both at different times, both using half of the terabyte? And both using minimal space on the internal drive?

You a run VMs on any attached drive, I mix and match mine, with some external, some on internal drives, depending on the size.
