it took some time since I was in game, Is it still possible to mine ethereum on gtx 1060 3 gb ? Im still getting an error with DAG size.

Unless you are mining ETH for some ideological reasons, it would be more profitable for you to mine something else, e.g. BTG, with autoexchange to ETH. And no need to switch to win 7 or linux.

are you referring to any particular auto-switching mining platform or just setting to mine BTG in the .bat file? It seems like a lot of work to have to switch to what is doing best each week and nobody knows if BTG will sustain at a higher earning ratio than ETH. I do hope you can correct me here though...

You can use MiningPoolHub. They will automatically switch you to the most profitable coin for mining at the moment and auto-exchange to any coin you like (no hustle, they do your exchange). And it's not about  "what is doing best each week", it's about "what is doing best each block". Up until recently mining equihash with Nvidia was more profitable than ETH. They would autoswitch you between BTG, ZCL, ZEC and ZEN. But due to recent asics introduction to equihash and fork of BTG, BTG fell out of traditional equihash autoswitch and is now a standalone coin with its own equihash variant; still though the most profitable coin to mine most of the time. There are plenty of options of what to mine (coins), how to mine (miners) and where to mine (pools) - do your research and calculations.
