On Windows, I switched from Notepad to Notepad++. When I switched to Linux, I tried using Notepadqq, which is just a Notepad++ fork with Linux support. But then I realized that Kate is actually miles ahead of Notepad++/qq.

I have zero clue how well it works on Windows, but I highly recommend trying it based on my Linux experience. Notepad++ and Kate are both FOSS either way, so you can't go wrong if you end up preferring or not preferring it.
