You boot your new laptop from the stick with Linux on it (UEFI/BIOS settings must allow that).

If you need Windows for launching games depending on it, then you need to stick with Windows. If that is not a concern to you, you can abandon Windows right now, no need to go through all that hassle with W10. The future of Windows holds no promises for improvements, just more worries. And risks.
Can you run Silent Hunter 5 under Linux?? O_o
If so, I might dual boot.
