Have you ever used linux before? You can install a distro alongside windows, and choose which to boot.
I've been distro hopping for 5 months now and settled on Fedora with KDE I know the basic commands (download software, navigating directory in terminal) I've dual boot before but I never used it I forgot why, currently I have Fedora install on an external SSD
Making the jump is up to you then. Ive been using linux for a while, fully, after dual booting for a while. Once I knew what I could and couldn’t play, I decided it was worth removing windows entirely.
