Libre Office will work with MS Office files
GIMP with images
Firefox/Chrome/Chromium are the norm
The biggest issue you'd have would be with gaming, maybe Skype (use Jitsi instead), and iTunes (many other alternatives).
Anything else, fire away.
I'd say download Linux Mint from linuxmint.com, and upload the iso in Virtualbox, or burn the iso to a DVD and boot from it (it won't overwrite anything).
