If you happen to like it the most reccomended step is to install linux alongside windows, so when you turn your comouter on you can choose which OS to use.
Also from linux you can access all your files stored in the C: windows drive and any storage D: etc drive. BUTT from windows you wont be able to see the files stored in the linux partition
Those programmer socks aren't working then.
It's easy, to try (for example) ubuntu all you need is one usb stick/drive/wjatever it's called.
Get a usb stick, without anything inside cuz it will be deleted
Download an .iso file from ubuntu.com with the latest version
Then you gotta use a program (idk how it's called in windows) to put that .iso into the usb so it becomes like a C: drive
Turn off your computer, plug the usb, turn it on
Yer launching ubuntu from the USB now, choose "don't install, just try"
Try it
If you don't like it, turn off your computer, plug out the usb and nothing bad happened.
