How to switch between Linux (debian) and Win 10 on a laptop without rebooting?

Dear connoisseurs, good time to all!
Is it possible to somehow organize switching between OSes without rebooting?
The idea is this: I work in linux and when necessary (ideally with a key combination) I switch to another OS and back.
How realistic is this, considering that I have an Asus K53SD laptop based on an Intel i7-2670QM processor.

Thank you.

impossible. Linux is an OS. The axis reads your memory, loads the kernel, etc. If you need Windows just like that, then look at wine, you can’t count on serious work, but it works.
And so download wsl or bash. Otherwise qemu, virtualbox, vmware

Work on Linux and have a Windows virtual machine.
Work on Windows and have a virtual machine on Linux.
Work on Windows and use WSL if tasks allow.

Virtualize everyone does this, or you can buy yourself a second laptop and switch. The iron is one

Start the virtual machine and alt + tab at the right time.

You can buy a second computer, install Windows there (If on the main Linux, or Linux, if on the main Windows, respectively), connect via VNC (To Linux) or RDP (To Windows) to the second computer.
Well, or as recommended above - install a virtual machine

Without specifying why Windows is "necessary", it's not worth answering this question seriously at all.

2 system blocks and switch via kvm switch. This method is not always redundant. Especially at enterprises where various obsolete iron is probably lying around.
UPD most kvm switches allow you to switch by key combination.
