When it happened, Husband was thinking of trying to ‘bisect’ (or whatever you geeks call it) and run both Windows and Linux; but we were so happy with Linux, we forgot about that.

The same thing happened to me. I added Linux “along side” Win 7 as what Microsoft calls “dual boot”. After using Linux for a couple weeks I realized I would never need MS again. That was over ten years ago and I have not looked back since. And as MS just gets worse and worse by the day I am happier and happier that I changed over.

Best way I’ve found for a dual boot system is to have Win and Mint installed on separate SSDs. That takes a lot of potentially troublesome issues off the table. That’s how I run my utility laptop.
