You could do what I did: Install a second drive in your computer and install Linux (e.g. Linux Mint) on it. That way you can always go back to Windows should you come to the conclusion that Linux isn't for you . But I have to say, being a recent switcher from Windows to Linux myself, the transition was really easier than I initially thought.
