Hi Guys! I'm very new to Linux. My employer gave me a brand new Dell Latitude 5530 today but my old Latitude E6530 with SSD and extra Ram far outperforms the new machine, so I decided to dedicate the new one to installing and learning Linux. It came with Win10 Pro pre-installed. I wish to install Linux Mint over the Windows installation. The boot configuration in the BIOS Setup don't give me any option to boot from USB but it does have an option to enable Secure Digital Card boot... The only way I can get it to pick up the iso file on the SD card is when I disable Secure Boot and then restart holding down the Shift key and then selecting the SD card (listed as UEFI SD Device) as a boot device. However, the installation crashes with an "Installation type" window which has no options and an error message saying "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
I'm installing Mint 20.3 - verified the iso image and flashed it to the SD card with balenaEtcher.
I will appreciate any help here!
Thanks,
JohanF
