Welcome to the forums
Ok so you have an HP lappy, at this stage, you will need to check the BIOS and disable windows quick-start [fast-boot] and possibly secure boot [depending on the lappy's age.

I expect it will have at least 2gb ram possibly 4 or more, most distributions will run OK albeit some will be a little slow

you will need internet access to download and install your chosen distribution, you will need a writing/burning application to make your bootable ISO pen-drive, Time and patience to go through the installation process.

For a first time use/installation, download a 'live' distro, it will be installable, but will let you see if everything on your laptop works before physically installing it to disk - also, you can try different distros, without installing them first.
