I moved to Linux a couple of years ago rather than "upgrade" to Windows 10, free though it was (so is Linux, and it always has been), because Win10 looked to me to be a massive invasion of privacy. There are a few things I still need Windows for, like the software that runs my little label printer, and Photoshop, and Sketchup, and for those I've installed Virtual Box and have virtual versions of Win8.1 and 10 inside it. You need at least 8Gb of RAM to make that work effectively though, and at least an i5 CPU, virtual machines are pretty demanding.
I also have virtual machines for XP. Vista, Win7, even DOS 6.22 with Win 3.11, every version I've ever bought a license for, plus half a dozen Linux distributions to play with, just because I can. Yes I'm a computer geek.
