Long story short: yes. Each virtual machine is technically “independent” of one another, and with VirtualBox, you could easily do this, since it is supported on both Windows and Linux host operating systems (emulated or not).

Is it possible to run a virtual machine inside a virtual machine?
It is possible to run virtual machines (VMs) inside other VMs. This configuration is known as nested virtualization: Nested virtualization refers to virtualization that runs inside an already virtualized environment. ... With nested virtualization, you're effectively nesting a hypervisor within a hypervisor.
Can I run VirtualBox inside VMware?
VirtualBox, running in the virtual environment, can only use "software" virtualization. It's slow, of course. It should consume a lot of processor time. ESXi in a host system use hardware acceleration (VT-x or similar), and it performance close to real host performance.
Does VirtualBox support nested virtualization?
Oracle VM VirtualBox supports nested virtualization on host systems that run AMD and Intel CPUs. This feature enables the passthrough of hardware virtualization functions to the guest VM.
Is VirtualBox dangerous?
Is it safer? Yes, it is safer to execute programs in a virtual machine but it is not complete safe (then again, what is?). ... You also have to keep in mind that setting up the virtual machine poorly will allow malicious code to escape the virtual machine.
How do I run an emulator on a virtual machine?
How to Create an Android Emulator in Windows
- Download and install VirtualBox.
- Download the latest version of Android x86 from android-x86.org. ...
- Launch VirtualBox.
- Click New. ...
- Enter "Android x86" for name then select Linux and Other Linux under Type and Version and click Next.
- Select at least 1024MB of RAM and click Next when prompted for memory size.
Can a virus on a VM infect the host?
Yes a virus from the host can infect the VM. A infected VM can infect the network back again.
What is nested virtual machine?
A nested VM (nested virtual machine) is a virtual machine contained within another VM. Nested VMs are used for testing out hypervisors and new operating systems in lab environments. Administrators using one hypervisor can nest a competitive hypervisor to try its features.
Can you install Hyper V on a virtual machine?
Start the virtual machine. Install Hyper-V within the virtual machine, just like you would for a physical server. For more information on installing Hyper-V see, Install Hyper-V.
How do I enable nested virtualization in VMware?
To enable virtualized HV, select VM->Settings and navigate to the processor settings screen. Check the box next to "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI." You will see a warning that virtualized HV will make this VM incompatible with other VMware products.
Does VirtualBox support KVM?
Therefore, KVM can't run in VirtualBox (yet). Please track bug ticket #4032. VT-X and AMD-V (so-called virtualization extensions) run the guest operating system natively in the CPU. Without them, the virtualization software must interpret the operating system opcodes in software, which is very slow.
What is nested paging VirtualBox?
Nested paging eliminates the overhead caused by VM exits and page table accesses. In essence, with nested page tables the guest can handle paging without intervention from the hypervisor. Nested paging thus significantly improves virtualization performance.
Does VirtualBox need hardware virtualization?
As opposed to other virtualization software, for many usage scenarios, Oracle VM VirtualBox does not require hardware virtualization features to be present. Through sophisticated techniques, Oracle VM VirtualBox virtualizes many guest operating systems entirely in software.
