What would you people suggest is the most Windows-like Linux distro to switch over? I'm thinking in terms of visual similarity, UX, key bindings, and such for everyday usage.

The desktop environment, not the distro, is what really matters. I'd look into a distro that is easy to install and comes packaged with the KDE desktop environment. Most of the popular distros fit that requirement.

A few other desktop environments also look like Windows, but I find KDE to be the most similar to Windows 10.

Kubuntu fits this bill in my opinion. If you take a look at their feature tour[0], it uses similar paradigms as Windows. And Ubuntu is widely supported, and their package directory is quite good.
