Can I have single boot Windows 10 on an Intel Macbook? (lemmy.ml)

I have a 2012 Intel Macbook Pro (the version without a dGPU), right now it only has Pop_OS on it, the SSD on the device is only 128GB so I removed the preinstalled macOS, I want to know if I can replace Pop with Windows 10 since the gaming performance is tanked on the old iGPU, looking online I only find articles about dualboot with macOS which I don't want because of the low space, the only worrying thing is Windows doing some voodoo shit ruining essential partitions of the device while installing and maybe incompatibility with Windows boot manager

Oh Linux runs great on it, but gaming doesn't, the translation layer overhead and poor Vulkan support are the drawbacks here, I could run emulated games pretty well using the same hardware
