I like Windows. I hear that it's better to use Linux but Windows is used so much everywhere and is what I have used for years so it would be very hard to switch over.

If your system has the resources to run a VM efficiently, you've got nothing to lose by Installing Linux In a virtual environment.

I'm very similar to yourself with Windows- I've been running It since the good old 16 bit Windows 3.1 back In the mid 90s.
