Managing windows in a VM with a Linux host on bare metal is long term much more manageable and headache free than dual booting. It’s also a lot easier for Linux to host files to be shared between Linux and Windows than it is to manage a filesystem on bare metal that each alternates access to and to which they can both read and write. Easy sharing of files between systems is going to make the transition a lot less painful. That’s just a lot easier with Linux hosting a VM of windows in my experience. Makes backing up data easier too.
There is plenty of documentation for various options. I have mostly use a mix of samba and NFS to share between various Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS devices for decades. It’s scales well from a single device hosting multiple VMs, to dual booting and accesing shared files on an independent server, to ahomelab with a mix of devices and operating systems, accessing levels, and automatic backups.
