[QUOTE="Roadrunner45, post: 3320376, member: 44634"] I second the comment to "try it out" before doing an installation on your hard disc. You can do this by putting a version of Linux on a CD (easiest) or USB stick (slightly harder). The download is in format (.iso) Ubuntu is popular. Once it's installed on CD or USB, boot your computer up and select to run from the "Live Disc". In other words, instead of your computer running software off your hard drive (Windows), it'll run software off the CD or USB you burned. If your head is already spinning, this may not be a fun experiment. If that's the case, I'd suggest trying to de-crap your Windows software programs, and get rid of advertisements. [/QUOTE]
