    I went to linuxmint.com and downloaded Linux Mint 18.2 64-bit directly to my HD, then I went to UNbootin and used it to create the bootable flash drive. UNbootin doesn't have an option beyond mint 17.2. I tried to start Linux mint and it failed as did OEM install, and integrity check. Memory...

    Well the desktop is an AMD unit that I built myself, it has a phenom II x2 processor and 16gb of ram, an AMD video card (hd4600) I think. When I go into setup I don't see anything referring to windows and I don't get a chance to choose windows on boot up. I downloaded a repair CD iso that was...

    Hi, I'm a newbie so please be patient. I installed Linux Mint-Cinnamon on mydesktop alongside Win10.
