Download Linux Mint 18.3 ISO (Sylvia). Bur to DVD. Install. Never look back. Use WINE or VirtualBox to run Win apps if you must.
I have some old games that will not run on Windows 10.
They ran on XP, 7, 8 but nada on 10.
Can these run on Linux?
Age of Empires and a couple of others.
Nice ways to spend a cold or rainy day.
