Can't imagine why anyone would mess with dual boot these days with

A windows licence might be tied to hardware, for example. So if I need
occasional windows use (eg to update my satnav - grrrr!) but otherwise
use linux, dual-boot is a necessity. Such a licence probably wouldn't
work in a virtual machine.
I don't know about that but you can buy a license relatively cheaply
for Windows 7 Pro.
haven't shopped for Windows 10. (at best I'd only purchase Windows 10
Pro because of the forced updates.)
Windows 7 Pro in a VM seemed to work fine with instant access to wifi,
etc.
