#

how old exactly is this pc?

#

You should boot the Mint live usb, at desktop open the start menu, find Disks app in Accessories and run it

#

then click the computer's hard drive/SSD on its left side, and show

#

full window photo, in landscape mode. and not so far away.

#

and not too close or on angle either.

#

make sure to show everything in the disks app window
