Same thing happened to me last year. Right into the uefi. Spent months fighting it after it got into phones,, laptops, Linux Windows, whatever. Eventually got it gone and had been (trying mostly) to use Linux during the whole fiasco. During one of about 150 reinstalls of windows I couldn't remember my password and wasn't getting any of the password reset emails I was repeatedly requesting.

I was locked out of my own fucking computer with nothing to do but reinstall windows. The same shit could happen with Linux except I wouldn't have an expectation that a fucking password reset button would work.

That was the part straw for me. I viewed never to use windows again unless I absolutely had to.

And now that I've gotten thang of it: I fucking love Linux. I'm continually learning more about both Linux and computers. I feel like I'm peeling back later after layer after layer of useful interesting shit that windows purposefully kept from me.

Parts of the learning process were rough, not going to lie, but my god. I fucking love the command line. I just love it.
