depends on the malware, but generally yes
just don't let it touch your host
keep your vm in isolation from the rest of the network, maybe use a dedicated malware analysis vm like remnux or a sandbox like https://any.run

there are cases where viruses can sometimes attack your host from your VM but those kinds of vulnerabilities go for millions on the black market, you're basically never going to encounter one of those unless you're a nation state actor in which case you wouldn't be posting here
which is another way of saying just delete the VM, run a windows defender scan to be safe, and you'll be fine
thankyou guys, pretty helpful
