you have to re-format your pc and load Linux. If you have any question, ask again!

What you could do is partition the drive and install Linux onto the D: drive and have a dual boot, you'd just select which OS you were going to use.
That way if you didn't like it, you could revert back to XP.
It's the safe option.
The other way is to format c: and install Linux onto the c: drive.

If it's that freespire linux, don't do it. It says it's just like xp, but it's very low quality. You're WAAAY better off with microsoft, as much as I hate to admit it.
