    Wish someone would do this for me tbh. I’d like to make the change, but am tech-incompetent enough that I fear I might brick my only computer were I to try.

          Get a usb and test drive mint by just booting off it and not installing it.

          It looks nice and takes the mystery away from it.

          Just need to get into your bios menu pressing f2 or f12 or delete or esc when you first turn on computer, change boot medium from c:drive to usb
