If you don't have an any idea about linux rather than installation then you are on correct place
Step 1: First Compare windows with Linux means you need to check what is prograam file, windows folder, c drive, admin account and normal user account
that you need to check.
Step 2: compare file system with linux like program files means etc in linux, admin aacount means root account in linux and so on
for that refer below Image

You need to undersatnd the diffrence first after that need to understand what is file system in linux and how it works
1) In Linux there is a single hierarchical directory stucture. In Windows, there are typicallty many partitions with directories under these partitions. For example, the C drive and the D drive on a Window machine are two different directory structures with their own seperate directory structures. Linux places all partitions unders a single root directory by mounting them under specific directories. This is known as a unified file system.
2) unlike Windows, Linux is case sensitive!
3) it helps to know the function of the basic Linux directories:
/sbin - contains all binary files essential to the running of Linux
/bin - contains binaries of useful commands and shells
/boot - contains system.map file and Linux kernel
/dev - containes files that communicate with hardware
/ etc - contains system configuration files
/home - contains home directories for users
/lib - contains shared libraries (note: Windows equivilent is .dll files)
/lost+found - contains recovered files
/mnt - contains - mountpoints
/opt - contains software and add-on packages that are not part of default installation
/root - home directory of the root user
/tmp - files that are required temporarily
/usr - contains all user binaries including programs like telnet, ftp, etc.
/var - contains spooling data like mail
4) The Linux filesystem does things a lot more differently than the Windows filesystem.Let’s point out the differences and take you through the layout of the Linux filesystem.For starters, there is only a single hierarchal directory structure. Everything starts from the root directory, represented by '/', and then expands into sub-directories. Where DOS/Windows had various partitions and then directories under those partitions, Linux places all the partitions under the root directory by 'mounting' them under specific directories.
Closest to root under Windows would be c:. Under Windows, the various partitions are detected at boot and assigned a drive letter. Under Linux, unless you mount a partition or a device, the system does not know of the existence of that partition or device. This might not seem to be the easiest way to provide access to your partitions or devices but it offers great flexibility. This kind of layout, known as the unified filesystem, does offer several advantages over the approach that Windows uses. Let's take the example of the /usr directory. This directory off the root directory contains most of the system executables. With the Linux filesystem, you can choose to mount it off another partition or even off another machine over the network. The underlying system will not know the difference because /usr appears to be a local directory that is part of the local directory structure! How many times have you wished to move around executables and data under Windows,only to run into registry and system errors? Try moving c:windowssystem to another partition or drive.
