Is it possible to dual boot with my macbook pro 14" with a m1 pro?
Like the other comment says yes for macOS, imo however in a completely stupid way because if you wipe your internal SSD you need another Mac (or idevicerestore) to restore the firmware, if your internal SSD ever breaks you are completely fcked because you can't replace it (only maybe on the Mac Studio) and apple only allows you to boot from that (and *after that a different drive)

You also seem to be using an older version of OpenCore, so updating that would be a good idea if you get the GPU issue sorted.

Booting Windows error: OCB: StartImage failed - Already started - what to do under BlessOverride?
This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf (opens new window)for more details.
