I ditched Windows 7 for Linux Mint. Works better than Windows.

I'm hoping to do the same. My hangup is certain Windows programs I use a lot. Like financial and mapping software. To my knowledge neither of these programs has a Linux counterpoint. Suggestions? Maybe dual boot?

WINE may run those programs within Linux. Dual boot is okay or you could install Windows in Virtual Box so you don’t have to keep rebooting your PC.
