What is locking you in to use Windows? Which of your programs can't you run on Linux?
Yeah sorry for the late reply... Busy.
It is just some games are not supported which I play now and again with friends and just general support for graphics drivers with the current setup I have. I currently use a laptop which has a 970m and HD intel graphics, Ubuntu, Mint do not play well sometimes when it decides which GPU to use; plus I always get screen tearing with the 970m. I was just like I can't spend over £1000 on a laptop and live with screen tearing all the time, so I went back to Windows. Also I have been a Windows noob since I got interested in computing, so even though I could understand how to use Linux it was hard for me to move permanently; someday I will go back and try again with Linux; with the way Windows 10 is going I need to move.
Also glad you liked my post
