is there any big reason to use a VM for the challenges if i have a secondary lab-machine ?

I’ve seen the recommendations about the usage of virtual machines in order to secure yourself during the challenges, but i have an old dual boot machine with kali and windows and the kali system is fresh with no personal data. Since i’m a newbie when it comes to security i’d like to know if i could get in some serious trouble by doing the challenges on that machine or if im just beign paranoid :S

No. I dont use a VM for most of the challenges anyway.
