Pop_OS!
It's not the best (technically), but its defaults have great compatability and work essentially everywhere.
Search how Pop_OS! Looks though, because it looks quite different to Windows (and you might want something that looks like Windows).
If you want a taskbar like Windows, use Kubuntu (and don't touch many settings or the terminal, KDE has a habit to break if you don't know what your doing) or Cinnamon.
Kubuntu is modern, highly customizable and comes with good defaults. It'll also scale well if you want to put in the time.
Cinnamon has a slightly more outdated look, but it's built ontop of the same base as Kubuntu, so it should work out of the box without any customization. It's good for beginers, and reasonably hard to break (for Linux). But it's not as customizable and won't scale as well as Kubuntu if you want to deep dive into Linux at some point.
