Running Internal OS on Virtual Box

Question

I am Using dual boot OS in my laptop, which is Windows 10 and PopOS (Linux).
I am installing virtualbox on Windows, and I wonder, if there's a way to Run Other OS in same hard disk and same time when I am running Other OS with VirtualBox?

Example : I want to run Linux when I'm running Windows with VirtualBox.
So I can run my other OS without shutting down my laptop.

Yes, it's possible. See this question for details on the setup I used and parts that I didn't like about it. Also the Virtualbox manual for using raw disks. — gronostaj, Dec 22 '20 at 11:29

No, it's not possible to use VirtualBox to run a non-virtual machine installed in your computer. If you want to run a Linux OS while using Windows, create a new Linux virtual machine with Virtualbox!

You have misunderstood the question. It is possible to run Linux in the VM while running Windows natively, without shutting down the PC. – Chenmunka Dec 22 '20 at 09:48
To be fair, the question is poorly or awkwardly worded. This is one way I understood the question as well. OP needs to edit the question to make it more clear, not just add EDITed alternate lines which so far make it more confusing. – music2myear Dec 22 '20 at 18:27
