Windows 10 vm on *buntu
Is it possible to run Windows 10 on a VM on any *buntu or Debian based on?? To be honest, I know "virtually" nothing about VMs (you don't have to laugh at my joke, it's not very punny) and don't even know to go about setting one up, running one, nothing. But I hate having more than two OSs on my HDD, so I figured that this idea of the VM was worth experimenting with. Any and all help would be appreciated. Keep in mind, again, that I don't know anything about VMs except that they exist and for what purpose they exist. Beyond that, I may as well have been born yesterday on this subject. I didn't know where to put this, it seems a little advanced to be in the "beginners" section, but oh well.

Hello,
for example:

Install Oracle VBox for Linux on your host.
Install W10 as guest in the VBox.

@bdittmar

I got Oracle VM, it seems to work. However, I tried to install Windows (I noticed that all of the versions available werein 32-bit only) and when I was done, it didn't work. I got a mesasge that says "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted". Do you have any idea what this means, or how to fix it?? Any help would be appreciated.

What exactly is that and what does that mean?? I have an ISO image. I have like a million ISO images, do I need to use the directory of one in order for the VM to work??
