      Windows itself is technically running in a VM if you have Hyper-V enabled (not quite that simple, but that’s a reasonable approximation). Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor which means it runs directly on the underlying physical hardware, and both Windows as well as any VMs you create are running on top of Hyper-V.
