Not quite sure what you are asking here. If you want to use an existing partition on the disk to be the backing store when installing a Windows Virtual Machine then that is certainly supported. The docs should show you the syntax to set that up in the disk specification section when configuring the Virtual Machine. If you have an already installed instance of Windows that was installed on the metal and not under the hypervisor on a partition on your machine and want to run that under the hypervisor, then that is almost certainly not going to work due to the differences in the actual hardware that windows was configured and installed on and the Virtual Machine presented by the hypervisor.
