Thanks for your help.

I may not describe this question clearly.I want to virtual one physical system in my dual-boot system.So I searched the dual-boot computers and virtual mechines and confused by the old version windows.

But now I solve this easy.I mark this step by step.

I use VMware Workstation 14,Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 to do this.

1. Click File,New Virtual Mechine.

2. Choose Custom,Next.

3. Hardware compatibility Workstation 14.x.

4. Choose I will install the operating system later.

5. Choose Microsoft Windows and Version Windows 10 x64.

6. Change the name you want and the location everywhere reasonable.

7. I choose UEFI since my windows 10 boot UEFI as recommended.

8. And then choose the processors,memory,network connection,I/O controller types LSI Logic SAS as recommended,virtual dis type SCSI as recommended.

9. Importantly I use a physical disk and choose the device contains my windows10.use individual partitions since the both systems are installed in the same disk.Choose the Efi System partition which load the windows 10  and the Windows10 partition.

10. Finish.

I followed these steps and it works great. However, I can only access the Windows 10 installation as root. I ger "Unable to change virtual machine power state: Insufficient permission to access file" when I try to run it as a non-root user. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be most appreciated. Thank you.
