windows linuxification suggestions?

so i have wanted to get linux for a while now, and i am planning on getting either ubuntu or linux mint when i am in a position to do that. but the problem is i do not have an extra drive nor the money to purchase one at the moment. I request suggestions on either how to safely get linux without the chance of losing/corrupting anything on my pc, or suggestions on what to use in windows to make it most similar to linux. i have already debloated it with a script.
