Hi
@Kezar21
From Terminal in Loki, can you please give me the output of the following
I am particularly interested in the part regarding Drives and Partitions, mine looks like this
Drives: HDD Total Size: 1000.2GB (0.6% used)
ID-1: /dev/sda model: TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD1 size: 1000.2GB temp: 33C
Partition: ID-1: / size: 14G used: 5.7G (43%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda46
... but you can give us the lot, won't hurt.
Does your Lenovo's specs look more or less like this?

You could also give me the output for the following two commands
Code:
ls /sys/firmware/efi
#and
sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
... Those are lowercase L's in each instance.
From these commands we can establish whether you are on UEFI-GPT or BIOS-MBR, and that will help us to help you install Linux Mint in the best spot.
As things stand, you will likely have, on startup, a Grub Menu which features Loki on top, followed a couple of lines later by reference to Windows Boot Manager, where you boot into Win 10. True?
I am looking to have you install Linux Mint, which will then take the top spot over Loki. Provided that install is satisfactory in every way, then you can use a tool called GParted, which is the GNOME Partition Editor, to remove Loki, reclaim the space, update your system configuration, and then when you reboot you will have a Grub Menu featuring Linux Mint on top, and still giving you Windows access.
Cheers
Chris Turner
