It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new
Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are
I’m a computer dumbass and I managed to install Mint by plugging in a USB and clicking “next” until I had a new OS installed. Maybe something else would be marginally more suited to me, but Mint does everything I want: games, internet, and office software are all I need.
Mint is now easier to install than Windows. With Windows you have to create a microsoft account or run commands in order to skip that step (assuming you didn’t use rufus skip account/tpm check when flashing the image)
One day I will swap to Linux!! One day!!!

You won’t regret it. When I switched, I realised just how much it felt like I was just renting my OS from Windows.
