I did this same move two years ago. Make a list of critical must have functions. Get a second storage drive like your current one, swap out the old and install Kubuntu. Get those critical apps installed and tested. Create a virtual machine out of your old primary drive. Boot that inside Linux when needed.

I have a CentOS 6.8 server that I backup with:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb conv=sync,noerror bs=4M

Of course change the sda/sdb to whatever your source(backup drives are

My Optiplex 7060 defaults to RAID mode for SATA drives when there’s a drive in the M.2 slot. Maybe yours is set for RAID too?

I’ve put kubuntu on a couple of machines now and I’m pretty happy with it.

I’m for allowing anything, readily available or not.
