MS with their Windows 10 OS is seriously taking a communist approach if you ask me. If I were you, I'd just go to Linux. KDE Neon or Zorin OS are good choices for Windows users coming to Linux.
Also, there are bittorrent clients that tons better on Linux than Utorrent. Which are open source. Qbittorrrent is good option. You can install that from the package manager.
Also, since you are torrenting, you'll be much more secure using Linux instead of Windows as most viruses are made for Windows.
