I have a PC with Mint Linux 18.0, and a virtual Partition with the same 
on several computers, they from way back just work fine, I upgrade the 
OS, many patches and everything stays working, I can't say the same for 
Windows.

My current issues with Windows is that I made a mistake on several key 
PCs and signed up for the Insider Versions, then they go an make it that 
  you have to keep upgrading it or Windows will cease working, but if 
you upgrade it the same can happen or you have many bugs.

The current version has some serious problems but my PCs will not 
upgrade to the new version, and once it starts trying to upgrade, it's 
non-stop download 3GB, say goodbye to your PC for several hours, only to 
fail and start doing it again. I figured out how to stop that but, I 
have some serious problems with the current version of Windows but I 
can't install the latest version either.

I can get off this merry go round once they release the next non-Insider 
Version, at that point I can turn off the Insider process but not until 
then or the PC will in a couple of month stop booting.

I have one PC that on the attempt to upgrade got corrupted and now will 
not boot at all, I'm tempted to make that PC a Linux machine It's a 
decent machine for Linux it has an I5 3.4GHz Processor and 8GB of RAM, I 
do have an image from way back before I had it joined the Insider merry 
go round.
