Windows 10 ending support (pc wont qualify for upgrade) so got me reading up on Linux.

Groove suggested Linux to me years ago, but I didnt have confidence in learning a new OS.

This version of Linux (Mint/Cinnamon) seems to be more user friendly to windows users.


I did get Linux installed on the 1TB ssd, but not without problems....

The install screwed up my boot loader, and was not able to 'dual boot' at start up, and it only loaded Linux (no choice of which OS I wanted to boot into..)

Took me a while inside BIOS - dicking around with boot options - to get back into windows, but Linux is no longer seen  :-\

I have one more tutorial to watch, that may explain (hopefully) what I may have done wrong - but did the "install alongside windows" option during Linux install - so not sure where I went wrong

Anywho, I do like this version of Linux OS. And once I get this problem sorted, I have confidence I can learn the new OS.
