Method 1...
Install Linux and be done with this nonsense. Why deal with this shit year after year when you can also have software that you can just use any which way you like? And yes, that now also includes gaming. Pretty much the only thing that still sucks to get working well is Adobe software and fuck Adobe too.
Edit: yes, I’ve become that guy, and I’m fucking proud of it. 20 years I’ve been on Linux thinking " why the fuck would anyone use Windows" and for 20 years I’ve read article after article how Microsoft screws over people, how their bottomline is just plain money, how they literally try to sabotage the competition, including Linux, and I’m done. Microsoft company should be burned to the ground, figuratively, let it go bankrupt
Because interacting with other windows users is painful.
Because gaming and gaming modding in particular is still fairly windows centric
Because many windows apps are not available on Linux, and you end up being forced to use alternatives that usually don’t hold a candle to the proper one.
Because text rendering scaling is still integer based and trying to do say 120% scaling will result in a weird look.
Because having an issue on your system isn’t solved as easily as updating a driver.
Because VR support on Linux is fairly non existent.
Because you’ll always be a second tier citizen to the cool new apps that get released.
Linux might be a great upgrade if you only use windows for web browsing, but if you’re a windows power user transitioning to Linux can be painful and in my experience primarily a downgrade.
It’s really nice that printers just work on Linux while windows requires you to dig online for drivers, even worse when it’s an older printer, but how often do you change printers? Once you’ve set one up on windows you’re not likely to make any changes.

What about conectivity with things like projectors and printers?

In my case I’ll use different (network)printers every few weeks for the next year or two
I still have to use Winblows sometimes.
You have my sympathy
