I'm gonna try Clear Linux next. I'd try Ubuntu or Mint if I were you. Back up your stuff and give it a go. Try it from a live USB first, but it is pretty slow like that.
Wiping your HDD and starting fresh is easier, but it'll dual boot with window$ fine, usually. I'd say 99% of the time.
Let us know if you have problems, I'll keep and eye on your user account.
DO IT!!! 99% of the worlds super computers run Linux for a reason.
You'll be fine rooftoptendie-san.

"As a meme farmer, this makes life hard." Kek. No doubt. Linux won't upgrade your hardware but you may be surprised how well it uses what it has.
There are lighter OS's for older hardware, probably lighter apps for photo editing too, I use gimp for photos and kdenlive for video. FYI.
Yes, old folks love linux, can confirm. I have peeps in their 70's using it.
I think Mint is sleeker looking. Both have improved significantly since the penguin desktop days.
Good Luck!
I just get this feeling windows is causing ALL my problems
