What's interesting is that my father, who is 73, has been using linux

Linux is OK for simple tasks, like internet browsing and Usenet. Windows
is for serious users who need to do more than simple tasks.

That is complete bullox
In some of the (Linux) Raspberry release you got a free version of MATLAB
there are a zillion open source application for Linux.
And the good thing is you can connect things / applications together.
Media players (mplayer, xine, etc) video editing, audio editing, audio
software, system conversion, thousands of free applications available.
And maybe without your knowing: much in your home may well be running some version of Linux
router, HD receiver, WiFi box, TV, Linux is even used in some spacecraft.

MS windblows is just for the ignorant to ever buy more bloat and ever more hardware needed to run the bloat
ever more bandwidth (expensive fiber) needed to get the updates... ..
Microsore has No purpose whatsoever except to get your money and they have shares in hardware companies
as every time their bloat increases people have to buy ever more powerful hardware to be able to run it.
Basically Microsore is a crime against humanity, an example of out of control capitalism.
And of course it spies on everybody all around the world that uses it.

Windows has finally matured. No more "blue screen of death".

Just delete it and install Ubuntu for example to get started with Linux.
It has very good online support (groups).
Reading a decent book on Unix may help a lot.
