Oops.  Just realised you might be asking instead about a "1 time 
operation" to turn the Windows install into a VM, with no intention of
continuing to use it as a dual boot.

If you're purely looking to clone your windows installation, into a 
brand new VM (using new storage), than that's doable.  There's a common
term for it called "p2v", meaning "physical to virtual", which Googling
for should bring up a bunch of info and steps. :)

Either way, hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
