Is it a good idea to change a laptop that came with windows 10 to linux? and what version would I use and how would I do it?

If you are asking questions like that, I am sorry, but you probably won't be able to use Linux properly. It is far trickier to use than Windows and supports less software.
Sincerely, Windows User.

yes it's a good idea if you don't "need" any windows software(games, software for your work/education)
start by googling how to install ubuntu, then download an .iso and boot up a "live usb"(or dvd if you choose to use one) and test it out, if you like it, install.
less malware, better performance(usually), potentially less buggy. give it a shot.
sincerely, ex windows user.

This.
But bear in mind any warranties that came with the laptop will probably be voided by this.
Mint is designed to be friendly to Windows users. I have recently installed it on a Win10 laptop, no problems so far, although honestly I've only used it for a bit of word processing, checked out Gimp, and some surfing.
