The only real concern I have is - getting sound to work and keys and all that- will Linux detect the hardware on the laptop, how do I install it to boot up and completely remove windows off the machine, or should I leave Windows on it, duel boot? I don't know about these things, is there a disadvantage to leaving Windows on it? And I have zero clue about how to do all that.
