Possible. Disable bitlocker if you have it enabled, create a recovery disc from Windows, pass through your recovery disc and SSD to QEMU, boot from the recovery disc, run automatic startup repair. Ensure you use the correct firmware type in QEMU: If your SSD is GPT then use UEFI. If it is MBR then use BIOS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
