Would those both work in a virtualbox or anything like that? Of they're the only things you require for a windows machine, and they won't work in any way through Linux and you do want to try and hop over, I imagine you might try a virtual Windows environment specifically for those two things. Since virtualbox is free for Windows too, maybe you can try it out to see if it does work before attempting the jump.
Your point about dual booting and then just getting stuck in Windows again is true. I remember when I first tried to move to Linux, the same thing happen to me. It wasn't until I tried Gentoo to help fully understand Linux at its core, that I finally got myself to move over lol. Most people recommend beginner-friendly distros, which are great for non technical or those who don't want to be too technical, but if you really want to understand how it all works and know how to do things on your own, I love recommending Gentoo personally. :D
