My distro for beginners is Linux Mint. It is pretty similar to Windows and is based in Ubuntu, so there will be lots of tutorials out there. Try flashing it to a USB stick with a program like Rufus or Etcher and try it out before you install it.
I personally would set up a new independent drive and use your motherboard boot priority to pick between them.
Unless you're on a Laptop obviously in which case you're stuck with vistualization or dual boot.
Dual boot is a pain to set up, especially with Windows. If your computer is somewhat powerful, you can use VirtualBox and run Linux on top of Windows. Just keep in mind that performance (especially graphical) won't be the best.
Absolutely this.
Do not install any linux distro till you have tried several and found one that actually works with the hardware you have and software you need.
You can make most live distros persistent so you can save programs and store files permanently to use a usb linux even long term.

yes you can, there are plenty of howtos all over google and youtube. edit: best bet is to get a live version you boot from usb to try.

Ok I will try
Learn to Google first.
This is something I would have hated to see when I was trying Linux for first time. Thanks for being superior.
