Tails is not built for arm processors. It is not just the M1 chips, there is no version for eg. Pinebook neither.
To run traditional amd64/x86 software get any cheap Thinkpad, they have great linux compatibility and work with Tails out of the box.
If want to go deeper look into replacing BIOS/UEFI with Coreboot or Libreboot as well.

Great this straightens my head I will give it another go with one of those machines.
I’m thinking of replacing the whole windows installation with Tails, so I don’t have to run it from a USB device.
Am I doing this right?
That's not how it works. What are you trying to gain?
