One I recommend putting linux on your last laptop if you have it around. I feel this is better than dual booting as it encourages using linux more often rather than being booted into windows and is simpler and really shows how much better linux performs when you see your old laptop running smoother than your current one. I recommend zorin os which is an ubuntu respin because it uses the stable branch, does not shy from proprietary drivers for like nvidia, it has a windows like interface, and it comes with a bunch of stuff out of the box so once installed you will have libre office for office stuff and evolution to hook up email and calendar software and contact manage and a web browser and disc burning and rdp client and an image viewer and sound recorder and player and is setup to run windows programs about as well as one can be (wine with play on linux so you can right click and exe and run or install), and other little things.
