If you have any other acces to a computer download Linx, it's free so you can use until you decide to get Windows.

Would that effect any of the files in my hardrives? I'd rather avoid going away from Windows as I'm not exactly familiar with other OS

Check and make sure that your HDD is listed in the boot device menu's but you may need to reinstall with a motherboard swap.

Well as I said before if you have access to another computer you can download Windows onto a USB and change to boot option or buy it and order a physical copy. Honestly I have never used Linx before but I hear it is good I would recommend looking up some videos of it and how to uninstall it and then install windows BUT it should hard or mess up any files on your hardrive as you can wipe it when you install windows anyway.
