2-3 days seems very optimistic, but it depends how much you enjoy tinkering with your setup.
Maybe consider dual-booting so you can go back to windows if something urgent comes up while you migrate.
another good tip Ive read is to use software that has both linux and windows support and try using it on windows first. For me the hardest part of migrating from windows to linux was switching from lightroom to darktable. it just took me time to be motivated to put in the time to learn how darktable worked, and look up peoples workflows, plus setup a good import schema
Dual booting sucks if you don't do it well. Windows keeps messing with the bios settings and the boot loader and crap like 'fast boot' to make your life painful.
I had to spend the better part of a day fiddling with the USB stick, but honestly once the actual install was done I was pretty much running out of the box. My 7 year old uses it. Steam is even an easy native install now. There's just not much to set up anymore if you're just doing games/video/browsing. I spent another day doing some fancy stuff UI setup for fun, but it was working right away. A far cry from the days of messing with alsa or the tears behind getting wifi set up, let me tell ya! Was really surprised as someone who had been away from Linux distros for nearly 10 years.
