just be sure to backup EVERYTHING you want to keep before attempting first install.
linux uses different filesystem than windows and in most cases install will wipe your hard drive.
You can dual-boot if you want to try out a particular distro or two and you could still switch back to Windows if you later decide, but yes, backup everything in either case.
