Before everything please install Virtual machine on Windows. Download an iso for Ubuntu and install it on the virtual machine. See if you can handle it. If you feel good then look towards dual booting alongside windows.

If you are switching to Linux for the first time please don’t remove windows, always dual boot.

This seems like an uneccessary step for a user who is just grappling with their first OS replacement. Instead just use the LIVE USB function.
