Can a Linux installation be run as a VM in Windows?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not sure. I never ran into an issue with the boot partition last time I did this, but that was vmware fusion on a macos host in like... 2015 so. So while I would probably just yolo it and unmount the boot partition (or maybe try to migrate/reinstall to another drive so it can have its own boot partition?), you might be better off trying something else.
Either that or try another hypervisor
To be honest, I've given up. I was hoping that it would be something to make my life easier for a short while, but the amount of work to get it running is going to be more than just dual booting and swapping OSes for a while.
It's a shame, as it could be an interesting project, but it's quite a niche need going by some of the replies here, and isn't worth the effort.
