Re: Not a Noob
"I want to replace Windows with Linux."
Why? You can stay on Windows 7 till 2020, and Windows 8.1 until 2023, and Windows 10 indefinitely.
"I want point-and-click. I want wizards to install apps."
Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 in a nutshell.
If privacy on Windows 10 Pro is a concern, just use a local account and then turn off what you don't want. Using point and click, you can turn off telemetry via Services, syncing via gpedit.msc, and turn off Cortana with a single regedit. Use Privacy in Settings to turn off everything else, it's not hard.
And if you really want to get down to it, and don't mind hitting a command shell once, a single PowerShell command can remove all the "apps".
