Download a new OS // Download the operating system you want to install. Search for Linux distributions for beginners to get some suggestions.

I feel like it's better to actually list/suggest a few beginner distros than to tell people to look it up.

Linux Mint (XFCE desktop) is the best for beginners coming from Windows, in my opinion. Linux enthusiasts will fawn over KDE because of customization, but they ignore that the vast majority of people don't want to spend months tweaking pixels, widgets and animations, they just want to use the computer.

Mint looks pretty dated tho. I would go with Kubuntu because it looks pretty similar to Windows and is sleek and modern even without any customizations
