UPDATE: My friend gave me the wrong procedure that did not "work".
That is why I posted this "thread" (post). He later discovered his error
and informed me to select "Administration" in main menu. Next, scroll
down to "Update Manager". After I did that, I had NO trouble getting
the updates...
I have Mint Cinnamon V20.4 on 64 bit Dell Latitude E5430 laptop. Firefox V95.*
My Windows 7 desktop PC has FF V102.5. I tried to update FF on Linux laptop

What about an app I saw in Software Manager called "Check Install"? Could this be helpful?
Thanks in advance, JohnN3AOF

Hi, I installed Mint Cinnamon 19.2 on a Dell Inspiron 1520 32bit laptop. It has 3G memory and 1.5GHZ CPU.
It takes about 7 minutes to get booted up. Note: First installed on a 120GB HD. I tried a 240GB SSD, but it did not make any improvement on the bootup speed.
Anyone have a suggestion...
