Yes-

Shrink your Windows 10 partition about 1/2 the size it is and that way you will have room for Linux Mint.

Your screenshot shows that your Windows partition is 882.05 GB.
Half of the 882.05 is 441.00 GB.
So you can shrink your Windows partition when your ready.

I got my hands on my wifes laptop for 20 minutes :you probably only need circa 35 gig for windows ten. I don't know how you got to that gui but you can get to it by putting diskmgmt.msc in magnifying spyglass icon.
First i would do a degrag . put the word degrag into search , it shows an optimize button

To shrink a partition right click on the mouse on ..hang on i need to see your image (hate windows !!) right click on the 800 gig partition it will bring up a mini menu/dialog menu . you can play with menu.lets us know if you manage to shrink

Well hope there will be some ideas from others. But just because a system can't boot doesn't mean that a motherboard is toast. There are ways of re-setting windows password .Also you can access the partitions on your laptop from an OS booted from a usb stick. on power down and cold boot if you hit : Common keys to enter the BIOS are F1, F2, F10, Delete, Esc can you get up BIOS menu ?
