Windows 10 end of support is coming soon. Now is a good time to start easing friends and relatives into installing linux

going to follow this guy's process to extend another year without an account

never going to 11. just need more time because I'm putting in a dedicated HDD for linux (maybe Pop, maybe mint, dunno yet) and need to do other work first

kind of like it being nice to have a backup car if you are going to DIY your daily driver, I would like the cushion as I try out different linux builds. and don't want to step up a driver fuckery dual boot so am just going to select boot drive directly from BIOS

Let's say someone (not me) wants to switch over from Windows 10 to Linux (definitely not me) but is too tech stupid (assuredly not me) to know how to do this.

Can anyone possibly help this person (who is obviously not me) with doing this? I'm sure she (who is again not me) would be grateful.
