Switch to Linux instead of removing Windows 10 completely.
I could likely use Linux and remove Windows 10, but I’d like to retain the ability to reinstall it if necessary. The laptop didn’t come with any recovery options. Is that feasible?
Consider checking online for guidance tailored to your device. Confirm the Linux version you're aiming for is compatible. Retrieve your Windows 10 activation key and store it securely. Create a bootable USB drive for future reference. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10) Begin the installation process.
I won't suggest using OEM versions of Windows anyway, there is no reason to do that. Maybe just the drivers, but most of the time if you got a working connection Windows update will take care of it. Why don't just dual booting? Then remember you would have to partition your hard disk correctly In case you have an UEFI PC a FAT32 100M with esp and boot flags partition is required, then you could just partition two spaces with NTFS and ext4
