Windows 10: Upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with already installed Linux Mint.

Hi,there! I have 2 operating systems installed on my PC: Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint. Both of them are on the same Local Disc C. I want to upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I tried once and as a result I had to restore Linux Grub loader as there was some errors on the screen. Does anybody know how to do it correctly without damaging Linux Grub loader? Thanks in advance for any help!

Linux Mint Cinnamon to Windows 10

Mint is one of many variants of the free operating system called Linux. It is considered easy to use, but if you have invested in learning and using Windows for years, grasping it will be a bit overwhelming.

If your objective is to use your computer to get things done, you will need to have some basic knowledge of how Linux works in order to do that. Although Linux is much improved over the years, it still remains rough around the edges.

I suggest you load Windows 10 on the system since it more than meets the requirements and will be compatible with existing hardware and applications you own.

Step 1: buy Windows 10:

Step 2: Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10, you will likely have to do this from a computer already running Windows:
