One of the ways to use Linux and Windows together is to dual boot Windows and Linux. It works well for except that you have to switch between the operating system by restarting the system. This is inconvenient to a certain extent.

If you are an infrequent user of Windows and do not want to trouble yourself with dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10, I suggest installing Windows 10 inside Linux by creating a virtual machine.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to install Windows 10 inside Ubuntu Linux using Virtual Box.

Note: If you see Windows logo with black background and it never starts to install, you may have to do a little tweak. There seems to be an incompatibility between Virtualbox and Windows 10 1703. A virtual machine that runs W10 1607 fine will fail to boot W10 1703 UNLESS the following parameter is set: Under System – Acceleration you must set Paravirtualization to None and then reboot.
