What should I do if I want to change my OS from Windows 7 to Ubuntu?

Asked by Ryan

Hello!

I have been using Windows 7 for almost 3 years now and some has changed. For the past two months my computer was letting me down. I had trouble watching videos, playing music, and using flash. My friend recommended me to Ubuntu and I tried it out on my USB. It was quite different but I got to know a bit of it in 30 minutes. I am not sure how to change the OS or should I change my OS. What if I doesn't work out? What if I couldn't switch back?
