#

system specs, wanna dual boot or just mint?

#

you're on windoz?

#

mint cinnamon will do

#

what kind of gpu you have?

#

nvidia users need extra steps

#

backup your data before proceeding

#

so you got an intel gpu?

#

you can still game fine

#

now get ventoy

#

to make your bootable usb

flint copper
#

you need to make a bootable usb to install mint, ventoy does that

#

and you need mint iso

#

so you got the iso?

#

can you stream?

#

so I can guide you

#

anyways, got ventoy?

#

extract the zip, you'll get a folder

#

look for ventoy2disk.exe and run as admin

#

plug your flash drive

#

then set ventoy like this

@fervent cedar

#

so it boots on any system

#

what? terry

#

what AI has to do here 💀

#

did you set it like the shot?

#

plug your usb flash drive then hit install

#

it's instantaneous

#

no, just backup your stuff

#

you don't need drivers

#

no

#

ventoy just makes a bootable usb

#

now copy mint iso to the new ventoy usb

#

if you already installed ventoy

#

got mint iso on ventoy usb?

#

send a shot

#

use your phone smh

#

anyways, once you got mint iso on ventoy usb, reboot to your BIOS

#

depends of your system. on mine, I press F2 when booting

#

is this a desktop or laptop

#

oh, sony

#

from sony website

#

idk, but get into your BIOS

#

idk if your laptop has secure boot

#

neither if it has CSM

#

look for those

#

disable csm

#

please don't do this

#

we are volunteers, we don't owe you help

#

wdym

#

does it have a csm or something like that option?

#

does it have secure boot

#

since you don't send images, idk what kind of bios it has

#

btw, check if it has virtualization support

#

good

#

I guess you have a complete legacy bios

#

now save and exit the changes

#

then boot to your usb

#

so you boot from the ventoy usb

#

once you get to boot off the usb, it will show a ventoy screen. press enter, then normal mode, enter. it will boot mint. press enter on the menu and wait til it loads mint desktop

#

you're not done yet

#

once on mint desktop, connect to the internet then open mint installer. check the codecs box then select erase disk and install mint.

#

then you're good
