[QUOTE="Coja Petrus Uscan, post: 1402252, member: 12967"] It doesn't matter what system you have. You can dual-boot your computer in 20-40 minutes: 1) download this - [URL]https://unetbootin.github.io/[/URL] 2) and this - [URL]https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=276[/URL] 3) load 2) onto a USB with 1) 4) restart and boot from the USB - this may happen automatically or you may need a press a key, like F8, to start 5) once booted onto the USB click "Install" 6) follow the steps - it's best to enable WiFi Your system should be ready with all hardware drivers and basic software, e.g. browser, email client, office. I can see no reason to remain on Window. Ubuntu and its derivatives are more user-friendly and you need to reinstall Windows about once a year due to viruses and fragmentation. No virus or fragmentation on Linux. [/QUOTE]
