If of interest - currently managed to get both NVDA and orca running
alongside on my windows 10 PC, with orca voicing interface elements for
linux GUI software, while NVDA speaks out the windows GUI interfaces,
and, this is with ubuntu 20.04 running under the windows subsystem for
linux (WSL), and, not in anything like a VMWare virtual machine -
followed instructions off following page, and, had to update display
drivers, update to WSL 2, and, last trick was figuring out how to get
orca up and running before bringing up installed linux GUI software -
ran orca -s command from WSL command line, which brought up it's
settings dialogue, and kept it running in background, when could then
launch linux software from new sub-menu on windows start menu:

Had been under impression that you could only get WSL2 running under
windows 11, but, this is on my windows 10 64 bit machine, FWIW.
