My plan is to keep the bare minimum on the boot drive required to get these services running. This is probably a Linux crowd, but I don’t speak the language and would rather keep it all in Windows if I can help it

Just a heads up that you might find it easier to learn a bit of the lingo than to try to translate all the entry-level stuff from linux to windows.

If you do figure it out though, you should document the process and put it up somewhere.

  Best place to learn the basic Linux I’d need to get this off the ground?

    The best projects will have well written documentation that steps you through exactly what to do.
    
    I started off not knowing anything about hosting and now I run like 6 services.

In addition to all the other points made here:

If you intend to run Windows on it the RAM issue will be even more important as Windows is a fair bit more resource-intensive just to get the base OS running.

It’s worth taking the time to learn enough Linux to use it for these types of projects, it will pay dividends in efficiency and flexibility.
