Dual boot with Virtual Machine

Question

I already have a dual boot system with Kubuntu + Windows 10

Now, I have to install linux mint for a project which Needs to be done using Virtual machine.

When assignment of location and space..

Erase disk and install linux mint
Something else

I read several websites that choosing 1st option wouldn’t affect windows OS and data but I want to ask whether it is safe for my dual booted Kubuntu?

Would it clear Kubuntu on the partition then.?

Thank you

It doesn’t triple boot. The system configuration now looks like: DUAL BOOT (windows + Kubuntu ). Inside windows it has VM machine which has Linux Mint OS. — kirti purohit, May 05 '21 at 09:12
I know you currently have a dual boot on your computer. I interpreted your question as asking if it's safe to convert your current dual boot of Kubuntu and Windows 10 into a triple boot. — karel, May 05 '21 at 09:13

It's safe in a virtual machine. You can Select the option of Erase disk. Virtual Machine makes an environment to make an os feel like it is in a real machine. I myself have tried this with Ubuntu and no it will not use or harm the Linux Mint as it has its own partition
