I better stick to my good old Windows.

Only telling like it is.

Some will rave on about Linux but unless a person is more into trying different things it can turn sour really fast.

Over the years have tried various linux distros, a couple of things that have been consistent -- they are all different and trying to get help the people who rave on about ( insert Distro) suddenly disappear. When going to Forums, you may get several completely different answers but nothing works, ending up with a reinstall.

As it was mentioned earlier, you can download a distro and boot from it via a USB drive without harming your Windows install ( to try it) OR run on a Virtual machine if you so wish.

What King1 mentioned about Ubuntu sharing -- The way its advised, every time never worked, the options were simply not there. 

But sharing a folder(s) on Tuxedo, while not 100% the same as windows is very close. 

No need to use commands and alter the Samba file.   Linux seeing Windows shared folders works ( generally). Going the other way, some Linux Distros simply wouldn't share Folders, tried god knows how many instructions - nothing worked ( no surprise there Smile  ) BUT eventually found a good video that did ( PITA Way)  -- Have a look you'll see some of the things you need to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTbRTKkHxyk
Upgrades = Old bugs replaced with new Bugs.
