I think it should go pretty smoothly.

You could have a look at :

  1. Migration from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK
  2. and then https://adoptium.net/installation/windows/
  3. and finally https://adoptopenjdk.net/MigratingtoAdoptOpenJDKfromOracleJava.pdf if needed

Even Microsoft recommend an easy path: How to migrate from Oracle Java to Microsoft OpenJDK · microsoft/openjdk · Discussion #381 · GitHub .
