I would say for Linux Mint Cinnamon you really only need to be able to follow directions. Just make sure you have an external backup of all your files in case it turns out you can't. You'll have to type some stuff into a command-line interface (I think) but the Mint Cinnamon website has links to step by step guides. Also, you know, make sure you're either committed to getting rid of Windows, or have the ability to re-install, in case you mess up.

But really, at this point, it's pretty dang easy.

I keep my OS on a separate partition from everything else, so all the files should be fine. Can MC read windows dism formats Luke NTFS? Or will I need to transfer my data to something more neutral?

I know it can read ext4, FAT32, and NTFS. After that, I have no idea.
