Yes using VirtualBox or similar.

You just need the iso, and give it dedicated storage.

Is it possible to dual boot Ubuntu or Mint and Windows 10, but not have to turn off the computer to use Linux? This is probably a very dumb question, I am not very experienced with VMs, but if I have Linux on one drive and boot Windows from my main drive, can I then open a Linux 'window' inside of Windows? My hardware is capable of doing so, just want to know if it's possible. 

Reason I'm asking is because occasionally I have to use Linux to test the Linux builds of some of my games that I make, it is annoying having to put it on a flash drive and move it to another computer.

Also you can download Ubuntu from the Microsoft store and if you have the Windows Terminal installed you can natively run Linux apps from there. (altho it has limitations, don't ask me which im not that well known with it).

 

ps, yes you can edit the looks 😄
