Migrating to Linux Mint with VirtualBox XPP and Win7 virtual machines has been pretty straightforward though not without issues along the way. All is well now though. I’ll not be looking back.

I have a Lenovo T61 with win 10 and every time I turn it on there’s no WiFi so I right click on WIFI icon and click troubleshoot problems and it fixes it for that bootup

Out of the blue, my wireless connection drops off at home. It is a royal pain. Everyone else in the house is connected and I get dropped!!

Yep Win10 does have a serious problem with the older broadcom stuff.
I had to get a new USB adapter to stop the lock-ups. Once I disabled the Broadcom my computer problems went away and I really like Win10

Glad to hear you are enjoying Mint, as it appears to be one of the most preferred ‘nix versions out there.
Personally, I am going back to Mepis on the main machine, but will begin evaluating many of the newer versions to find something at least as user-friendly beginning next month. I have a lot of machines to test so I might as well start a 2016 ‘nix comparisons chart since the old one needs updating.
Cheers!

Upgrade to a Mac with the latest OSX. Works just fine on any wi-fi connection. Windows should be called “Lose-Doh!”.

If you haven’t upgraded yet and you want to stop those annoying messages trying to get you to upgrade just go to Windows Update and uninstall KB3035583.

While I normally recommend people upgrade to Linux if at all possible, I agree that some should switch to a Mac at times.

Just a suggestion; have you considered downloading and burning a bootable Linux disc and see if that works for you? I believe the price for a blank CD or DVD disc is less than that for a postage stamp and roughly equivalent if you choose to use a rewritable disc.
What could it hurt? The bootable discs will not touch your machine and will allow you to try them as much as you like, then you can reboot the machine without the disc to go back to your standard configuration at your leisure.

I could research myself, but what the hey.
If I install linux, can I run VirtualBox for my windoz applications? Are there hardware limitations like printers or USB tuners? Thanks.

Typical and expected. Never be the first to adopt new technology. That includes hardware and software.
