I totally agree. I used to dual boot windows, then two Linux OS's and then quit both.
Between Windows policies that do NOT love Linux, UEFI boot and the os-prober being disabled by default, it is no longer safe to your data. There are alternatives. I personally don't use virtual machines, but instead bought a refurbished laptop from an online supplier for a little over a $100 dollars. Over the years I have also gotten used laptops from people that were done with them and going to give them to the salvage people. Good machines, just not the latest and greatest. Again, best advice is find another way.
