No experience with VM beyond running w10 under virtualbox installed for 
the single purpose of the bundleware for my GX100 guitar effects board. 
And even at that, I load it only about once a year so I pretty well 
fotget EVERYTHING about it in between sessions.

I wanted to use SuperGrub to maybe boot the two windows but had trouble 
getting this freakin AMI efi-bios to accept the DVD as boot medium, I'll 
have to try that again while waiting for word from Macrium. Assuming 
that if SuperGrub did manage tp boot w10 or 7 then I could get windows 
to lay boot code inthe MBR of disk 1 which (I forgot to mention) is a 
DOS disk and does the boots. After that I could get grub to rule the 
underworld again :-)

The 3 ssd's that boot and work fine on my old Crosshair-IV board are

1 - 500gb: boot and mostly Linux
2 - 1tb: the 2 windows 'c' drives (partitions 2 & 3 for w7 & w10) + data
3 - 4tb: just data

I have ssd-1 cloned onto a 1tb ssd which now also has linux Tumbleweed, 
and an also 1tb ssd which is an exact clone of ssd-2. Ssd-2 & 3 are very 
strait forward but linux RAID was distributed on ssd-1 and 3 other data 
drives. Those other drives have been wiped and are gone with the server 
tower, I had to issue some cLi command to clear all RAID references from 
them even after wiping. I do not dare touch the RAID remnants on ssd-1 
for fear of regretting it. Another clone would be good for that but this 
ssd-1 hosts only linux which boots fine on both machines so why muck 
with it? However it also had the MBR legacy boot including for the 
windows on ssd-2 and those are what don't boot on my new smoke and 
snake-oil EFI board.
