Computer Help and Support

since the midish 90's. I haven't used Windows on my personal systems since around 1998. The one I would suggest (as others have) for you to try is Linux Mint, an easy to use version of Linux from Ireland.
Many versions (distributions) of Linux will run from a CD or DVD drive. You'll need to learn how to start your system from a CD or DVD drive if it doesn't already do that. Lots of howto's on the Internet for that.
For example:

Since many Linux versions run from your CD/DVD don't be afraid to explore the many versions out there. Perhaps Linux Mint works for you, perhaps another version suits you more.

Here is a site that lists the various versions available: https://distrowatch.com/

Almost no one "needs" to use Windows (or Apple) these days unless you're locked into some specific software for a job related function. "Normal" computer users will be fine with modern versions of Linux.
