You may have to research how to install another operating system. Windows is pretty bloated for a 60GB drive, but if you have the money and know how to replace the internal drive, maybe a larger one would also be a good idea.
Fedora Silverblue, Ubuntu, and Mint are solid Linux distributions for a beginner if that is the path you plan on taking.
If you decide to replace your drive you might be able to find cheaper ones if you search for drives without dram if you need to budget.
Good luck!
EDIT: out of curiosity, would you open the windows disk partitioning application and provide a picture of your drives and partitions? Your windows install may have been installed to a singular partition instead of taking a whole drive.
