Get rid of Windows. There’s literally no good reason to have it anymore. None.
How do I play my VR games? How do I test the cross platform application I develop runs correctly on Windows? How do I update the firmware on a device for which the firmware updater only works on Windows?
I use Linux. These are some of reasons I keep a Windows VM around. So no, it’s not true there is “literally no good reason”.

Have to have it for work, AutoCAD doesn’t run on Linux
