However, I can see where it is sometimes useful to be able to run it for some
limited purposes, and confining its evils to a virtual box would probably be
my choice, as well, if somebody is pointing a gun at my head, or I find
myself caught in some such predicament.
Note that I never started out to be a Linux crusader, nor did I think much
about the implications of "proprietary" software. It was only when I
couldn't
get my machines to do what I wanted (things that they used to do without
complaint); then I started doing some research, which eventually led me to
Linux, then GNU/Linux free/libre, Richard Stallman, et al. The same with
systemd versus init: systemd messed up my system, that's why I didn't like
it. Later came the philosophy and politics of computers and software, and all
that other stuff.

If you do not run any games, why stay with windoof? There was just a quite
emotional thread on the freebsd mailinglist about win10 killing all OS on
the disk - happened with the latest update to 2004 (?) IMO. That thing
changed the partitioning scheme and introduced a 500MB partition for the m$
bootloader, killing everything in its way.
Anyway, my prefered way is to do a 1:1 copy of the origila hd - or rip the
disk and put is on the shelf. Then go Linux/BSD only and run M$ from
qemu/virtualbox.

my intention, should I keep the laptop, is to
install Windows 10 Pro
in place of Home.

I hope never to be forced to say those words, ever again: install
Windoze. I also made vows to get more exercise, and to eat less junk
food.
