Moving the Linux is easier
It actually is. I have four machines, with one (32 bit) laptop running Linux, and the other three running Windows 10.
At least I did, until one of them could no longer download Windows 10 updates because the 32GB boot drive couldn't handle a 105GB "patch" that was almost four times the size of the OS plus applications.
I read the Windows support voodoo, which recommended all sorts of nonsense that pushed OS management onto the end user (clear this cache, delete this subdirectory, change the ownership of this file, then edit this registry entry, then reboot to the USB disk and copy this file to this directory, they reboot again, blah blah blah), and even spent a couple of days batting around with it, without too much success.
Then, I downloaded a few Linux ISOs, booted off them, installed Mint on the machine, set up a Win10 VM on the other disk in case I needed to actually run any Windows app on it (I haven't in the four months since I switched), and left it that way.
The second machine I switched to Mint, and likewise haven't touched.
My primary machine is still Win10, but I'm slowly migrating things off, and will easily be finished before October 2025.
Not one of my PCs would run Windows 11, according to Microsoft. All four of them run some variant of Linux. And since I can run Windows 10 in a Linux VM, all I have to do is disable networking for the VM and there's no worry about security, either.
Why should I throw away perfectly good working computers simply because Microsoft stops security updates for them?
Linux didn't pull me in; Windows pushed me out.
