 From what I have read, you cannot port an existing win instance into a 
virtual.
But if you have the kvm modules in your setup (and they should be there 
in anything F10 up), then VirtualBox is easy. It installs 2 service 
drivers (vboxdrvr and libvirtd). Using the manager you create a disk 
space into which you install your Win instance.
Works nicely and easy to handle.
