Ok so my computer is a small thinkpad that runs windows 10 I mostly use it to write and use hexbear.
How do i change to linux?
Either a link to a good concise lay person worded article or some kind patient soul willing to help me in comments.
Thank you for your help!
Download the distro ISO
Download Rufus or Universal USB Installer
Ask your mom to buy you a USB stick.
Run Rufus or Universal USB Installer and follow the instructions.
You now have a stick capable of booting Linux.
Reboot your computer. At the boot menu (just after you turn the power on) 'Boot from USB' or 'Boot from external media'
