I would recommend taking a few weeks learning how VM's work before doing it yourself,but for a person knowledgeable about VM's it would be straightforward if you can install or otherwise attach a physical drive to your computer then configure a VM to use it as it's primary drive. I recommend having a knowledgeable friend do it. I have been 'playing' with VM's for a couple of years now and I have been burned several times while learning how they work. I still do not do anything serious solely in a VM.
