No. The look and feel of GNOME and KDE is similar to Mac OS as the most user-friendly OS, although KDE is the most similar.
There are some themes that make the interface look like Windows, but this is independent of the distribution.
By the way, with such questions, I would not put Linux in your place, in terms of usability, this is far from Windows, even if the appearance is similar. If you paint something candy, then it will not become candy. Install some Kubuntu and don't worry about getting used to it.

Stupid question once again. So thesis: Windows and Linux are tools, users perform tasks on the most appropriate ones. If you save money on tools then get out of this office. If this is your Wishlist as a neophyte, then do not interfere with people's work.

Transplanted users from XP to Xubuntu - there were fewer problems than with Ten. No one really liked the perfect resemblance, in fact.
But you need to put things in order in the network and in the software BEFORE the transition. To have a file server, not balls all over the grid.
To have ONLY working programs, preferably cross-platform, and not for everyone in Photoshop, just in case. Well, of course, problems with hardware that is ready for a dump (such as Mustek scanners or Canon printers that do not have firewood even for x64 Vista) need to be solved not by the user, but before that.
And you still have no idea how easy it is then the office is transferred to a remote location. It is because of the established order.

No. Fonts are different.

Linux mint will cause the fewest problems for users. The rest does not make sense, it is not necessary to make a non-window out of Linux.

What tasks will users perform on these PCs?
About 6 years ago I transferred one company (25 computers) completely to ubuntu Linux. But some of the computers in which, without a vend, did not perform the role of a terminal client. Connected to a remote terminal server on Windows and already worked there. But locally everywhere was ubuntu)
By the way, all this was done due to the fact that this company was checked and did not find more than one licensed Windows)

KDE Neon, Linux Mint. They are popular.

Linux Mint, ZorinOS, Manjaro XFCE?

You are thinking wrong.
No need to look for a distribution that is as similar to windows as possible.
All attempts to copy create a feeling of secondary and a desire to return to Windows.
If you want to transfer someone to linux, you should use the friendliest distros, regardless of the design.
For example, Solus, Deepin or Elementary OS are great for a beginner.
