If you're willing to do a little work, you can recover all your content. Use a linux live cd or a bootlable USB with linux loaded on it, and you will be able to mount your old drive and pull the content off of it.
Alternatively, if you have another windows computer or at least access to another windows computer, you can add your current drive to it, and copy the content off.
Quoted from RyanStl:I need to learn how to switch to Linux and if I don't like it switch back to W10. I recently replaced a 9 yr old Mac Mini with a Dell Inspiron for my media server. Windows 10 sucks, sucks, sucks at playing DVDs. It didn't come with a native DVD player and autoplay is flaky as hell. The wife keeps threatening to return the Dell and spend a bunch more to get a new Mac Mini. Is Linux really the answer?
Or I can Wifexit.
I would load it up in a virtual machine and test it out for yourself. It's completely non-destructive, and you will get a feel for whether it will be a good fit for you.
Here's a guide that will walk you through the process.
