I have an ASUS ROG that came with Windows ~~12~~ 11 pre-installed. I tried using it once and it pissed me off so bad I haven't opened the laptop again. I want to switch to a Linux distro that's compatible with it but need the process explained like you would to Grandma trying to bank online. Are there any resources that break it WAY down? Like, starting just after turning the computer on (I've got that down already).

Edit to say: it has been pointed out that Windows 12 does not, in fact, exist and I may or may not be posting this from the future.

I think you're right about getting someone to install Windows being easier. Was there a specific site that you remember being helpful? Or particularly bad?

No.

I only have experience with a shop I had "internship" (slacking off) at during high school.
Basically all they would do software-wise is re-install Windows, backup files, copy over files, install new installation of Windows.

The only response I got about Linux is "we'd have no licenses to sell" (Windows, MS Office, ESET,...), so that was a no.
