If you decide to do it I can give you step-by-step instructions or copy and paste snippets from the magazine but the Zorin website has all the details - quite straightforward.
You have an option ( as with most small linux distros ) to run them from the USB stick or to load them alongside your Windows and choose at every startup which you are going to use.   That way you can get used to the new one before you dump the old one.
cheers, Ian
PS.  I'm also using my main desktop pc of 12 years vintage but still high spec and am using Peppermint 10 Operating System instead of Win 10.  Another FREE Linux distro - they now do a even lighter-weight version to run from a USB without having to install it on your hard disk - in fact, your computer doesn't even need a Hard Disk to operate, just some RAM, at least 4Gb is recommended.
