Solved virtualization: is freebsd ready? current opinions please

I've installed FreeBSD on an outdated Dell Lattitude laptop but it's really too limited for anything I do. But I love the compiling system (minus clang - I liked faster simpler BSD C and not gcc)

I newly got a semi-recent Windows 10 PC (Core i5). I want to run Qemu pre-compile and run VM images in it.

Does FreeBSD have pre-made VM for Qemu for "hw accelerated vm" (this means a pair: a kernel with VM options compiled in (hw support for icore features) and a BSD disk that Qemu uses as the root, which are supplied as commandline options)?

Windows 10 only has 1 partition free and I already copied Linux files on it. I may run a Linux VM instead.

Is FreeBSD "Qemu accelerated" ready for FreeBSD newbies? Is there any reason I should be moved to boot FreeBSD off a flash drive and use a real disk partition rather than running in a VM?

Why not use Windows' own Hyper-V? Or VirtualBox? FreeBSD will run fine on either.
