Multiple OS on one PC?

Question

linux

Looking forward to May 13th when I can ship developer Windows 10 20H1 with bug fixes. Then I will install it and use WSL2. But that's until June 1st. After that I will have 16 Gb of RAM instead of 8, and instead of 1XSSD 128Gb + 1XHDD 1TB there will be 1XSSD 128Gb and 2XHDD 1TB. Then I can install multiple OSes. And I have a question:
Is it possible to run several physical (physically installed) operating systems in virtual machines. Let's say I have Windows and I need Linux, which costs physically. I'm running it in a virtual machine. But then I reboot the PC and I can use this Linux natively. Same with macOS. It is native, but at the moment you need to download it virtually in a Windows virtual machine!
Is it possible to jump from physical to virtual machine and back?! Is it possible to do so?!
Please tell me!!!

Answer 1

Let's say I have Windows and I need Linux, which costs physically. I'm running it in a virtual machine.

- all "desktop" hypervisors can do this . provided that the operating system is on a separate physical disk. further a matter of technology
- the second option - loading from VHD. is more difficult and worse with productivity (or it is necessary to check). both BCD and GRUB can handle it. but you have to google. although if Windows is the main system - EasyBCD will be the shortest path to success

Same with macOS

and here everything can be more complicated:
- do you have Clever in physics? then there will be problems in the virtual, and vice versa
- Hyper-V will not raise under any circumstances
- VirtualBox, but there are no guest tools in the nature (there will be no sound, jambs with screen resolution, and there is no kleboard forwarding)
- VMWare, everything is cool (with a patcher ), but see the paragraph about Clever
, Linux
Windows works the easiest way as a shifter - yes, but
osX activation will fly off - well, in general, either Clever, or the original under a fallen VMWare, but I doubt that at the same time
ps but in any case there will be many small nuances and much is needed just go through trial and error. I think this is one of the topics where it is impossible to write a universal instruction in an acceptable time

Answer 2

The virtual machine in a normal window works. How much will pull, so much and run.

Answer 3

a jump from a virtual machine to a normal boot - no
, for the rest, people are already "rejoiced")))
Windows will be a curve, infa weaving)
run virtual machines in the main "environment", how much the PC will pull

Answer 4

At a minimum - for "OSes in a virtual machine" and for "OSes on hardware" different sets of drivers are needed. In many cases, it is possible to put into the system (compile into the kernel) a redundant set of drivers and ensure that the necessary ones are automatically selected. But sometimes the driver type is written in some configs.

Answer 5

No.
