​With one (HUGE) caveat:
Running the windows partition under VB causes windows to detect that
it is running on a totally different machine than it was installed on
and registered with MS.​

Later when I tried to boot into the windows native partition (Dual Boot),
it froze!!!!
I had to call MS and tell them about the problem and they issued me a new
key - and that allowed me to boot windows natively.
