I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

    If you feel comfortable swapping out the drives on your computer that would be the easiest way. You can buy a cheap ssd to install linux on it. If you really hate it you can just switch back to the windows drive. This also helps you avoid dual booting.

      And if you don’t, you could just boot a live USB of Linux and some installers are capable of repartitioning your drive for dual boot.

      But there’s always a small amount of risk to this, but I’ve never had an issue in my 25 years of doing it.
