Before running Windows10 (or 7) in any VM, I would try to further "slim down" Windows itself, to get more acceptable performance, as I am sure that I don't have either of my Windows systems set up the most optimal way for best performance.
I've been happily running windows 7 'lite' mentioned above on Core2 Duo laptops for couple of years.
Recently I got powerful i5 machine where I installed full version of windows 7 pro.
It was so slow that I thought the hard drive is faulty. I couldn't stand it. After few days I installed 'lite' version. What a relief.
Some time ago I tried few 'light' windows 10 installs which I tried to further optimise, disable cortana etc. but apart from size on disk I dont see the difference in performance.
