Windows and Linux are nothing alike. Installing drivers in Linux can be quite different. Also you cannot use Windows drivers in Linux, you need to find Linux versions of those drivers if you need the device support.
Linux is very hands on and requires more work to customize than Windows. If you want an OS that is as easy as Windows, Linux would not be the obvious choice.
The Linux Mint website is filled with information on it. I posted the link above, feel free to browse the site and see if it is right for you.
