I don't want to support microsoft and I don't want them controlling my computer.

Pros and cons of ditching them?

Any guides or tutorials or the process?

Any advice is appreciated!

Then you should find Linux straight forward.

The are different versions with different names. I have Linux Mint on one of my PCs. Super easy to use and setup and everything that you listed will work with a fresh install, including damm near every type of video file (whereas Windows wants you to buy codecs to play different file types).

Linux Mint. You can even run it off a bookable USB for an ephemeral session.

Or Google's ChromeOS Flex. Totally avoid supporting evil Microsoft. /s
