I'd love to do multiboot. Gonna do this Windows 10 plan first though because I only had until the 29th to get it for free... if it fails I'll dual boot with Linux Mint.
One more question
If I keep Windows 8 and use dual boot, and just use Linux... will Windows 8 as the other optional boot in the background force me to do updates after I switch off my computer? Or can I just act like Windows doesn't exist and not worry about Windows Updates ever again and just have it as an option to boot to if I ever run into problems with Linux?
In the dual-boot option, when you boot into one of the OSs, the other is as if it's not there, except that it's taking up hard disk space.
If you just use linux, windows will not be in use, will not run any updates, will not run.
The down side is... when you do boot into windows, it will try to do ALL the updates that it didn't get a chance to do at the correct time... from Windows' POV, it's like you left the computer off all that time.
