I would buy trezor and definitely made my computer safe as was mentioned above.

not all of us like paying ~100 dollars for a hardware wallet to keep our bitcoins, a wallet that can be created for free and secure. trezor is for those who have invested thousands of dollars in bitcoin and have little computer knowledge.
you are wrong dude..  concerning hardware wallets, trezor isn't the only solution: ledger wallet are pretty safe too, and for a ridiculous coast of 34 euros... so , as you can see...  Cool

and concerning this special part of your post :

Wallet paper it is then.
You still need a safe computer to transfer funds.

Why do you need windows?

Linux and windows Partitions in the same HD will cause problems "eventually".
Dual boot is possible and should not cause problems unless a virus destroys all partitions. For that you make backups.

i confirm : you can use windows & linux on the same computer in dual boot : no problem;

however, if you use windows , its better to run your linux os in a virtual machine.  Cool

if the host is infected your screwed, and you're not safe with dual boot, either there are some exploit to spread the infection to another partition that is using another so

the only possible way is to have two ssd, and one only active at any time, so you must un-plug the power from the other, so it's not recognized

If the host is infected you should format that host. Why would you want to be using an infected computer for any tasks?

the problem is that a good infection come undetected, until it cause problem but at that point is too late already
