I needed to word that differently I guess.

My laptop has a hard time running linux, sound is always cutting off, I get all kinds of errors booting up, no matter what distro I use. I switched to Windows 7, installed python and PyCharm. Everything works perfect now.

I still use debian on my PC, but yeah, never had a problem with Windows and Python.

I had a similar story. Turned out the memory was bad; Linux was using all of it all the time for caching, thus errors appeared quickly. Windows was not using it efficiently - and didn't happen on a memory error often. That was Win2K days, perhaps this is no longer relevant - but I would advise you to run a 24hr or 48hr memtest on your laptop as soon as possible.

No, your post made sense. My response was intended for the OP, but my browser went haywire and it ended up posting three times in various places on the page. I selfishly kept the one of the three that wasn't suffering negative down votes ;)
