I am fortunate that I don't need to work with MS-Windows. That means
that I only know about it through hearsay. But you are wanting to run
MS-Windows on GNU/Linux? Is that right? Why?
If you are on MS-Windows and want to create a VM I hear good things
about VirtualBox. However that name recognition does not extend in
the reverse direction. VirtualBox on GNU/Linux is not very good. It
was declared unsupportable by the Linux kernel folks a while back.[1]
I don't think that situation has changed. So unfortunately people
running on MS-Windows often have good results with VirtualBox there.
Then they try to transfer that knowledge to running VirtualBox on a
Linux kernel system and though it sometimes works the general
experience isn't not great overall. I inherited a Fedora system
running VirtualBox and I found the experience lacking. I eventually
converted it to something different.

VirtualBox on MS-Windows? Or on GNU/Linux? On a Linux kernel system
my experience with it was not good either.

On GNU/Linux my reading of the two most popular free(dom) software
virtualization systems is Xen and KVM. Xen has a longer history. KVM
is the newcomer rising star. Which to pick? Probably the answer
depends upon everything. I think there will be strong advocates for
each. I think each can do the task well. The choice is yours.
Personally I am running a libvirt encapsulation of KVM for my VM
systems for both testing and production. It is robust and relatively
simple to work with. But I know that someone running Xen would say
the same thing. libvirt will encapsulate either. It is basically
happy scripts to hide some of the underlying complexity.
