(It began on Windows Vista, next Ubuntu was my OS, and Windows kept running in a VM. Next i switched to debian (OS) and Windows 7 in a VM, and still i am using many of them, while i still did not yet finish my upgrade to stable.
But searching, i found this: https://itslinuxguide.com/install-virtualbox-debian/ which explained some errors and how to work around them. Great relief, as there is no need to change my ways. :-) But, when it comes to Windows: i was closely watching the development of Win10 and checking the prereleases, but found too many things, i did not like. All the vbox-problems were solvable (even then), but i got in touch with sysadmins, who decided to never recommend Win10 to their bosses due to the spying on their companies, that could not be turned off. That is why i am on Win7 still (i know, its unsupported), but it does work nicely still (in a VM ofc.) Since you do not object to the use of current Windows, i would be surprised, if it would be impossible to run it in vbox. One thing though: Back in the days, i was using commodity hardware, limiting the things, i could do. My current box has plenty of RAM, processing power and disk space, so even running several VMs simultaneously doesnt cause any headache. Just my "worthless" experience... ;-) DdB
