Okay, so i assume i'm good and need to launch the vm this way then. I need to be able to benchmark on native windows and having two sets of install would be cumbersome, especially since i won't have the same disk for it.
Will see how booting on windows goes as soon as i found out how to add it to grub. Reactivation is just one click away, not really a problem here.
