New Laptop with Windows 10

Linux boot DVD or better USB stick can be created by yourself, you must not wait for an "opportunity". You need an ISO file and a tool to get it as bootable onto the DVD or stick, thats all. As Robbins and me said in other threads, the charm is that you can make it a bootable stick, you then can check it out in all of Linux's details without needing to install it on your HD. 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.
