You dont need to have Windows installed to Install Linux..
Linux is an Operating system(OS) Just like Windows is an OS.
If you have a bootable CD for Linux just insert the CD and start your PC. It would navigate you though few screens.
I bet is installing Linux is quite more easier the Installing Windows.

Then, the installation will set up a boot loader so which you cab boot between the two structures. there is likewise a thank you to place in Linux interior a abode windows installation, and nonetheless I certainly have heard some human beings say it works ok, i think of working a loose working gadget interior a non-loose one defeats the purpose of having open source.

The best thing to do is get a linux disk that boots and runs the software from the cd without loadind on your PC.
You will then see if all your hardware runs on linux before you go ahead and install it.
