I'm with /u/Lka1988, rip the bandaid off and don't look back. Linux is getting better and better so fast these days, it's wild. You can probably ride that bootable thumbdrive for a good while. Once you get things sorted out, six months from now, you'll wonder how you ever lived without Linux.

In any case, glad to see Linux saving the day. If anything, Linux should be a tool that you familiarize yourself with so you can use it when you need or in a pinch.
