Executing Windows and Ubuntu at the same time is possible with appropriate tools.

I operate Ubuntu inside Hyper-V with MobaxTerm running on Windows. I configured two virtual NICs—one connected to the internet and another limited to the host VM. Add the command export DISPLAY=10.0.0.1:0.0 to your profile, enabling seamless use of MobaxTerm in Windows, Hyper, Terminus, or even Linux for SSH access. This setup lets you run applications natively across platforms while maintaining consistent behavior. It functions with any hypervisor I use professionally.
When managing a VM, partitions aren't necessary—just use a VM file. This approach works more efficiently.
Unfortunately I arrived too late, but I recommend checking out the Windows subsystem for Linux. It lets you run Linux applications without needing virtualization tools or sacrificing speed.
