GRE at Home on M1 MacBook Air and Hotspot

I'm giving the GRE at home in 2 weeks time and have an M1 MacBook Air.
I read some posts about M1 macs not working with the Proctor U software and was scared some issue might pop-up on test day.
I also tested out the 'Testing your equipment' page on ETS ( pic attached below) and the software is unable to detect the computer architecture because it can supposedly only run on an Intel Mac.
So, should I just borrow a friend's windows laptop for the Test or is there a way to solve this issue?
Also, I have issues with WiFi connectivity in my house and was planning to use a Hotspot to connect to the laptop. Has anyone faced issues with the Proctor while using the Hotspot or is it allowed to be used?

Hi aayushkrishnan,
Since you have some pretty specific questions, I would actually give the folks at ETS a call, so you can get some specific answers.
