Where do I go to install Linux?? Where do I learn more about it?
Many variants of linux out there. Some are free and some not. But even the free versions are powerful and easy to use. They have excellent graphics and some emulate the Windoze screens so well that it is amazing. All commonly used applications, internet, word processing, spreadsheets, email, etc are available and most are free. Most function exactly like their Windoze counterparts. And all linux versions run rings around any Windoze machine.
Some free linux’: OpenSuse, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, others.
You need to provide more information for a truly informed responce. In general, most people prefer to install Linux in a dual-boot configuration so that they can gradually work over to it. Alternatively, most of the distributions out today (if not all of them, actually) offer a bootable disc download if you go to their homepage and think that distro is worth looking into.
Then, boot into the disc and play with the distribution in question to see how you like it. Note that while running off of your optical drive the OS you are testing will run noticeably slower than if you had it installed on your local drive, so do not be put off by its apparent slowness at first.

Then for a good selection of the most popular distros out there go here:
and look around a bit.
On the right hand side of the page you will find the most current listing of the topmost downloaded distributions out there, and how often they have been downloaded recently. Click on any of the links and have a look. If you like one, download it and burn it to disc and you can trial-run it to your heart’s content.
There is a learning curve involved, of course, but there was always one with each new version of Windows(tm) that was released so don’t let that put you off.
When you get to the point where you need specific help once you have made a choice of distro, just ask. If nothing else, the homepage of the distro in question pretty much always has a FAQ section as well as help files and user forums where you can post your questions and people are there to help out or to point to a resource that will do the job.
At the very least, you will have to learn what it means when you are asked about your hard drive partitions and sizing (assuming you are dual-booting) when you do the install unless you decide to let the install do it automatically for you.
Most people choose not to do that, but the install program has step-by-step instructions built in to guide you through that.
Oh, and don’t confuse the distribution with the desktop it displays. Gnome, KDE, and Cinnamon are the most common out there and not tied to any particular distribution.
(Well, not sure about Cinnamon but you get the idea.)
Good luck!
