Have you investigated the possibility of Dual Booting?
it's a bit complicated, but it works.
Separate Disk Dive is best

First, let me assure the list that I am not trying to ignite a flame war.
I have a legitimate reason for installing Debian Buster on my Windows
10 laptop using Windows Subsystem Linux and X410. I have a very
important application for my Computational Chemistry research program
that has never been ported to Linux.
After much thrashing about and hair pulling (little enough to begin
with) I succeeded.
However, there are several problems, minor but annoying. I’m using the
xfe4 desktop.
The Application Manager Logout function will only allow Logout;
Restart and Shutdown are grayed out.
On the System level, clicking on the Synaptic Package Manager entry in
the pulldown manual does not open the app; sudo synaptic in the Xfce
Terminal opens the app and it is fully functional.
I hope to receive advise from this list. I shudder to think of having
to query MS, even if I got an answer it would be very murky and
impossible to implement.
Thanks in advance.
