it sounds doable (i’ve had ver of linux and windows booting on the same machine with vm’s), but i wouldn’t let w10 get a crack at the real machine.

What do you mean? That you only run wondows in a VM? I would need it to have exclusive access to the computer in a ‘clean environment’ in order to run full blast-

I don't know about win10, but win7 and probably everything else windows insists on taking up the largest part of the hard drive even if its empty. That assumes it's the first os installed on a factory installed machine.

A thought might be to erase everything and install linux first. Then win10 can live there as a big file accessed by virtual box under linux.

Good luck.
