Having done this myself, multiple times (I write a lot of graphics code and like being able to test stuff on AMD, Nvidia and Intel GPUs on multiple operating systems without having to switch physical machines), it's a huge hassle and frankly if you just need a Windows machine to play games on occasionally a dual boot setup is way more convenient, not to mention less buggy.
I get really tired of rebooting just for a single round. A full 2nd machine would be more convenient but that means another CPU, RAM, MB, PSU, SSD, case, wires and more desk space. Try at your own risk, warning there be dragons. I'm a Gentoo user with older AMD cards your milage may vary
