      Boot the laptop from a USB memory stick that has a Linux installer on it.

          Linux mint is the most agreed upon dstro for newbies. You can find it in here: https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311

          You can follow the official guide to help with installation: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html

          There are also a lot of tutorials online, and if needed, you can come to the linux communities on lemmy for help
