A new version of Linux Mint is released every 6 months. It usually comes with new features and improvements but there's nothing wrong with sticking with the release you already have. In fact, you could skip many releases and stick with the version that works for you.
Each release receives bug fixes and security updates for about 18 months (or 3 years in the case of "Long Term Support" releases such as Linux Mint 13). The development team is also focused on the latest release. If bug fixes and security updates are important to you, you should regularly upgrade to the latest releases, otherwise there's nothing wrong with keeping things as they are.

Hold back your horses with deleting something yet. Try to install Oracle VM VirtualBox (it is free), and then install Ubuntu or any other OS you like and give a try for a few weeks to see if you like it.Partheban Udayakumar wrote:I don't know how I boot. How could I find that out? I don't think I will flash the entire laptop, I would like to remove only Windows.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
Are we home yet? Wait, did we forget the tiny ad?
