That's the curse of Windows OS. If you use something like Linux Mint and are willing to self-learn (or have someone help teach you) it could improve your (writing/artwork) productivity significantly IMHO. As long as you don't need to use it for playing Windows-only games you should be good. WINE runs most stuff (what Steam Proton Linux-comaptibility for Steam Gaming is based off of) and most of the rest have free and open-source alternatives.
