If you are on a desktop, there is always the option of throwing a GT 1030 in the secondary pcie slot and jumping through the 100 hoops to get Looking Glass set up.

Windows can't fuck the bootloader if you lie about its HDD access.

    Or just use QEMU/KVM wirh VirtIO extensions if you don't need hardware rendering on Windows. Problem is most dual-booters I know use Windows to play games with kernel anti-cheat. Not much you can do to virtualize that

    Yeah, I can't think of anything I need windows for that doesn't also need a real GPU to be useful.

    And even then its only really 1 game, setting up looking glass was as much for tinkering amusement than actual use.
