Also, when you boot into Linux for the first time, you'll be able to test drive it without installing a thing.

Thanks for the offer to help, ignoramus, I appreciate it  Smile
I think I will wait to upgrade until the mood strikes me or I'm forced to, then I'll come crawling back for help Big Grin Maybe the free period will be extended, one can always hope!

You just download the ISO and burn the image to a bootable DVD. Linux Mint is free.

But, to be clear, installing Linux Mint on a separate partition from your Windows install (which is done with an install wizard) will keep your Windows install safe.

Forgot to mention that too.

Well, that sort of assumes a person cares less about a flash drive than a DVD.

A normal DVD R that fits like 80 minutes of WAV file music on it?

I dunno how to do a partition or find the partition wizard. I'm wary of partioning my HDD in case it fucks stuff up when everything is running so smoothly right now.

Yes, a normal DVD-R.

The partition wizard would be part of the install wizard, just like it is when you installed Windows.

But if Windows 10 works for you, there's no need for Linux.

It's certainly an option if I run into problems. No problems so far.

That's why the first thing I always do after fresh installation is to immediately disable all updates! Saves a lot of headaches later.
