I am having two OS installed in dual boot mode. Ubuntu 17.04 Mate and Windows 7 Ultimate edition. Is it possible for me to use Microsoft Windows (all files and softwares) from Ubuntu itself without having to reboot the system. There was something like virtual machine and virtual box kind of stuff but I did not understand it fully.Any idea?
