After two days of Youtube videos and Google searches, along with a lot of failed attempts, I finally got Linux Mint to load from a USB drive. I was able to navigate around the program pretty easily. It was a lot quicker than the Windows on my computer. I really like it.
What I'd like to know is if it is safe to install and run on the same computer with Windows. I've seen videos and articles saying it's possible to do but I'm not computer literate enough to know for sure. Are there any conflicts? My ultimate goal is to get rid of Windows permanantly but don't want to just delete it without loading Mint and doing the simple tasks that I use the computer for, mainly web surfing, banking, bill paying etc...
I've been following the thread started by another member who was having trouble with Mint but some of the posts are well above my pay grade. For those who use Mint, do you have any problems or regrets? Thanks.
