    Windows to Linux Mint


    Due to issues with Windows 11 ...i may decide to install Linux Mint on one of my three desktop pc's ...i've tried Linux Mint before as a newbie and was totally a new learning curve and this time i will study more on Linux Mint and keep this OS on one of my three pc's ( have not decided which one yet ) permanetly. Depending on how my learning Linux Mint goes i may decide to switch my other two pc's to Linux Mint aswell.

    :)

    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:

    Buy Windows 10 Home/Pro

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

    to download official Windows 10 ISO files

    Step 3: Boot from the install media you create then perform a new install:

    Step 4: Download and update drivers:
