If you must use Windows, download it legitimately from MS website. Use RUFUS to burn the ISO image to a USB. Remove the restrictions you hate.
Dual boot a Linux variant, and move over apps at your leisure, until you are no longer Win OS dependent.
I just moved to Linux and started fresh.
The big mental change was instead of searching "sony vegas on linux please" I just started searching for "video editing software Linux", and take any possible limitations and live with them, as I know it's only temporary until Linux catches on.
What exactly do you mean, Linux had been "catching on' since decades, you may need to wait for a while...
I mean for the big software boys to actually start caring about it.
