Yes. Windows does what it's programmed to do wherever it runs.

Okay, What about if i flipped it around and ran a virtual linux OS on windows? would this act in the same way, i.e what information (if any) would windows be able to extract from the VM?

Sorry if this seems trivial, i am new to all of this

Windows shouldn't be able to extract any information from there, only shared disks (if any) and the telemetry of the virtualization software (if there is such a thing, I don't use Windows.)
