Hi,

I recommend to install VirtualBox. On Linux hosts it's unlikely the
best, but definitively the easiest to use virtual machine. Maybe it's
the same for Windows hosts.

Maybe Google helps as well:

Installing Lubuntu as guest in a VM, is the same as installing it on a
real machine. However, when it's installed be aware that the emulated
hardware is not the same, as that of your host computer and that access
to some hardware components could be tricky. Performance might be
relatively good, but you can't do real-time capable things.

Regards,
Ralf
