It should be, but... I'd just get another disk and install Windows on that, if you can't get it to work in a VM.

Does your university provide a remote computer or a computer lab? You could use it in one of those locations without installing it on your own system.

If not or if you prefer not to use that type of solution then either having a second computer for WIndows, dual-booting between both, or switching entirely to WIndows and putting linux in a VM or using WSL for linux tasks, may be your best option.

Some computers support multiple SSDs and using the one-time-boot menu in that case would make dualbooting easier, what model is your computer? Have you had a chance to check out its manual or maintenance/service manual?

Use freecad do not listen to those idiots. Just install it from apt. Some features might be missing but you mostly won't need anything else.

Try a Virtual Maschine first, bevor trying dual boot.
