1Password TeamHey there @volcano2
Although you won't be able to use your MacBook Pro's Touch ID sensor for Windows Hello, you can use a PIN instead. For some context, I operate a whole zoo of VMs, and this is the method I use too.
In the Settings app in Windows, click the Accounts tab, then "Sign-in options", then "PIN (Windows Hello)" and you can set one up there.
When that's done, restart the VM (just for good measure) and make sure you can sign in to Windows with that PIN. Then, you can turn on Windows Hello on the Security tab of 1Password's Settings.
Let me know how you get on or if you need any help. :)
