What is dual booting a PC?
The simplest meaning of dual boot is install and run two operating systems in a one computer. As an example, you can install both windows and linux on your PC.
Will this format my PC? No. But need to follow the steps correctly. Can I install Linux alongside of windows without losing data?
Yes. But it depends on the way that you are following to install linux alongside of your windows.
Is it gives the same user experience that comes with installing linux in a virtual box?
No. Virtual box is only providing the basic and limited functions of linux. But dual boot means linux will comes to the main os like windows (but you won’t lose windows). Also, it’s 100% faster than virtual box.

If your PC is power on too quickly, you can also enter BIOS through Windows 10 advanced start menu recovery settings. Or press f2 key continuously during powering off process.
Now go to boot options on bios and find set boot orders. Now select your pen drive using arrow keys and take it into first option from using f5 and f6 keys. Then press F10 key to save and exit.
