No longer have a windows laptop as it has died. Only have a MacBook and without taking my windows desktop out to the garage. Has anyone used a raspberry pi with windows on it to run forscan?
Is it possible? Any extra drivers to make it work?

Never, no. Hit eBay and purchase a used Windows laptop for $100 or less which will be good enough for all you need.

Run windows on your Macbook as a guest OS or using bootcamp. OR, just find a discarded laptop from a friend, co-worker, family member. There are tons of "Useless" pc's out there that you can repurpose.
