What I did (on my laptop) was I installed VirtualBox (VB) on my SECONDARY/internal HDD, & put the VM on there. It took some tweaking to get all that working with the VB being installed on a secondary drive, but I finally got it going good. Then, like you, I was worried, being a VM, that Kali wouldn't use my GPU (GPU 1, which is NVidia) for password cracking & such (instead of using the onboard graphics). This is a little more complicated (for some/so to say), as you have to understand hardware passthrough, and know that it doesn't work 100% like we [people/users] would like. However, with that being said, I WAS able to get VirtualBox + my VM to utilize my GPU 1 within the NVidia Settings Console. Just do some Googling. I tested this out by performing a crack with hashcat within my VM, while monitoring my GPU 1 (NVidia) performance in Windows' Task Manager. Once hashcat was initiated, GPU 1 utilization increased significantly. NOTE: Even tho I have configured VB to use my NVidia graphics instead of the onboard, it still seems like, when running the VM, it's still using the onboard, as when I start up the VM & do some other things on it, my onboard GPU (GPU 0) has more utilization happening than my GPU 1. I had expected that running the VM would keep a constant increase of GPU 1, but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least with the way I have things set up). Hope this helps.

You sure you really need (make good use of) Kali Linux while you couldn't figure this out? Option 1: shrink the partition Windows is using and make some available space on the hard drive, then install Kali Linux on this empty space. When you stark your laptop, press certain key and select which OS to boo into Option 2 (less destructive): You can install and use Kali Linux in Windows via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), just follow their guide https://www.kali.org/docs/wsl/wsl-preparations/ . In Windows you can create user accounts to separate different users.
