There are 2 very simple ways of trying linux with the option 1) letting you try it within Windows (or OSX if you're using Mac):
- Install VirtualBox on Windows. It's a free virtualization software. Then, download a virtual machine image of the Linux distribution of your choice here: http://www.osboxes.org/. I recommend Linux Mint which is fairly close to Windows in terms of <a>usage: http://www.osboxes.org/linux-mint/</a>
- Download an ISO image of Linux Mint here: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php. Then, use the UUI software to make a bootable USB key with the Linux ISO image. You can then boot from it and try Linux live.
