You've got a very relatable situation. Switching to Linux can be a gradual thing. -Keep your windows main, and get a flash drive boot

make a folder on you C:/ or D:/ to store your Linux user files (like downloads and documents). This keeps your windows files more separate from your Linux files. It also let's you keep files across boots. You can delete the Linux folder if you don't want to keep it around.
Open up Firefox, and have a browse of your favourite sites. See about logging in and getting your account logged in.
what's it like? Is it different to windows? Is the vibe different?
try installing your favourite app or game.
get curious!
too much? Your windows is still right there.

Baby steps! And remember, you don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step :)
