    You can set up a VM that accesses the raw disk partition of windows, instead of an image, so you can either dualboot or boot normally, in order to have windows alongside Linux.

    Used to work this way about 10 years ago.

      Oh, that’s interesting. I didn’t know you could have Windows and Linux on the same disk in separate partitions, and then boot Linux and have the virtual machine access the raw disk image of Windows.
