Your only alternative is linux (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat etc..) however, they do not come in a disc.. you have to download the OS, burn it to a disc, and then you got the disc for yourself..

Windows come in a disc, Mac OS is preinstalled in most of the apple computers..

So, there we go..

If you are writing over the existing OS, and realize all data will be lost, it is relatively easy to set the BIOS to boot from the newly burned CD with your chosen Linux iso, then choose the desired disk for it to overwrite for an install, selecting 'reclaim space' (or similar), depending on your distribution, as the menu varies from distro to distro.

(Numerous videos on youtube showing install of nearly every conceivable Linux distro)
