Hi,

First thing, stop panicking.

So far as the output from LaTeX is concerned you will achieve the same 
through TeXLive and MiKTeX. Operationally, they are a bit different 
which is why people have their own preferences of distribution.

To remove TeXLive, run tlmgr from the command prompt. Information here:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#uninstall

You can get what you need to install MiKTeX from here:
http://www.miktex.org/download

I would suggest that unless there is a pressing need, do not change the 
install directory from the default unless you know what you are doing.

HIH
Alan
