I'm wondering if same thing would be possible inside Windows VM on a Mac?

Depends. If it’s an Intel Mac, then sure, pretty much any hypervisor will allow you to pass a specific network interface through to the VM transparently.

If it’s an Apple Silicon machine….the limitation there is that on AppleSi, in most cases the hypervisor isn’t emulating x86 so the guest OS needs to be ARM and from what I understand, the Windows for ARM preview builds are hot garbage with app compatibility.

You might be able to emulate with QEMU and get that going but it’s probably going to involve a lot of work, I haven’t tried messing with it.

I went the cheap Windows 2in1 route since that’s a little more comfortable to mess with while sitting in the car. By the time you’ve bought a Parallels or VMware license to virtualize, you’re more than half way to just buying el cheapo Windows tablet anyway. There are some very cheap, fairly good Lenovo tablets around.
