Virtual machine as Secure Admin Workstation?

I would like to use a dedicated machine to perform administrative tasks in my company network, which are:

  • Using RSAT to administer the Active Directory domain
  • Using SSH to connect some Linux servers
  • Using Winbox to configure the Mikrotik routers
  • Using a web browser to configure some web services

In order to balance the security and comfort, I am thinking of using a virtual machine inside my daily driver laptop.

How secure would be this solution in contrast with a dedicated physical computer? Do you have any recommendations (virtual disk encryption, host add-ons, network configuration...)?
