click No on that.
When you clicked on Install Alongside, it should have given you a graphic rectangle to "stretch" whatever free space Windows had, and balance out that space with Linux Mint. I hope you got that.
cuz if u had already set up a free space partition, then you need to restart the installer from the beginning, and pick the "Something Else" option

lovely
a word of caution though. A removable, external hard drive (when disconnected) can sometimes cause the laptop to not boot off the internal drive. (this might not always be the case in UEFI boots though)
let us know if you experience issues.

do a shutdown of pc.. then try to reboot just from the laptop only with NO external drive connected, as a test
