I didn’t even let my latest laptop boot to Windows when I first turned it on, the Linux USB stick went in right away. But for those who use Windows for one reason or another, always perform a clean install; manufacturers love including all sorts of crap by default.
My laptop booted in to Windows once. I missed my first guess on the key to enter setup and USB storage didn’t have a higher boot order than internal storage.
