i think for an easy start, u could try to make a dualboot, so u can
switch between linux and win. its basically a matter of partitioning,
and i think ubuntu-mate.org is a friendly distro in every sense, as
well as to start with. it is a good lesson to learn the depths of
partitioning, but u can even pm me for help, in case of need...
Nothing wrong with a dual boot, but these days, this is the hard way
to get started.
I'd recommend Windows Subsystem for Linux, instructions may be
found here:
