At the point where dual booting seems like a solution, a second laptop for the specific task might be an easier alternative. Because dual booting often creates a lot of duplicate efforts. For example configuring browsers and email etc.

Or a Virtual Machine. Or WSL. Good luck.

Unfortunetly I don't have the financial situation to buy a second laptop.

I don't really know a lot about Linux yet but I was wondering if it could be a better idea to fresh restart with only Ubuntu.

Would it be more practical ?

Older used Thinkpads from reputable sellers can be found for about $100 USD on eBay.

They are good for running Linux.

And very good for learning Linux while keeping access to the computer you know…a very good idea for increasing the chance of success.

i have answered in separate comment that you can run mcp clients and servers in windows.

but if you really wanna polish your linux skills, go throw youeself in the swimming pool and learn to swim by downloading the latest ubuntu desktop iso and flashing it to a flash drive using balena etcher, then boot it from bios to install it to your laptop.

will it be hard? yes of course. will you learn a lot? absolutely. can you revert back to windows anytime? yes, just google for "github massgravel" and it will link you to windows / office installers (using their license activators is optional, wink wink).
