For those of you that still use Windows, do you have a dual boot

I use dual boot...on a couple machines.

It's not always simple... UEFI is complicated.

My wife is trying to decide if she wants to keep windows on her laptop

or no.  Obviously, it's easier not to decide & keep her options open..

but I don't know if dual boot or running windows in a vm would be

better, or what the tradeoffs would be.

Never tried using a VM.

Anyone care to say which is the better option, tradeoffs, pitfalls, etc?

Thanks
