Great video. ISO burner app I had never used before. Nice UI. Rufus most common one in the states it seems? Mint XFCE v. 20.3 Install was going great till the end. Got a grub install error on the root directory. So I went to the Mint forum page and found a solution, which was to disable the Legacy Mode boot sequence in BIOS. Booted the system back up and clicked on Mint Install again and it gave me several options, chose format and re-install, which worked perfectly. Did updates on the system, easy to use and I used a 17 year old ThinkPad with 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, AMD Dual Core 64 bit processor. Old ThinkPads are tanks;) Integrated Gigabit NIC a + too.
thank you very much; I've been considering using Linux Mint for my older laptop that can't upgrade to windows 11 & this is by far the simplest explanation with step by step instructions on how to install the Linux OS on a windows computer/laptop.
Great idea I seen Chris Titus on utube and pulled my laptop from the closet after I bought a new one is how I got to see that video as you say it was no good for a bloated windows to do anything without freezing up.all the time. Since I put Linux Mint on it it never freezes up and I got to get somewhat better on Linux for an old guy of 61 with no tech history what so ever. I have tried other distro's but love Linux Mint and now with 2 laptop if i frig one up I go on the other to figure out how to fix it lol. Lots of fun and frustration but loving it all the same good luck to you
For a wannabe Linux user, I am put off at every attempt by the oversimplification of website and video instructions. The presumption is always made the newbie has a working knowledge of Linux programming, and vagueness of terminology often defeats one's overall efforts.
I've always been on the fence between linux and windows, on one hand since i mostly play games on steam, most games are made with windows in mind and not linux, but on the other hand linux has less bloatware compared to windows, and i heard it runs some games better than windows. i just might dual-boot both linux and windows, if i ever feel like installing it in the future.
Thank you very much for the detailed video. Now I will go and try this method. I am just a user but have run V 18.1 so it is time to upgrade. In my prior attempt I downloaded the file directly to the usb stick using a windows 7 computer and it suggested to verify the iso as a safety measure. I couldn't figure out how to do this. I also didn't see any information on their site about using etcher so Thank you very much for that detail. Have a great day.
Glad it helped. As for verifying the image, it is not mandatory but a good thing to do if you want to confirm the integrity of the ISO. There are a few different ways to do it. I've noted it for the next videos. Stay tuned!
Same for me!!! been running 18.1. I liked its desktop much better than this current version. Oh well. This install took a long, long time. Not sure I'll do it again on other computers I was thinking of updating.
Linux is a rabbit hole. It does not always install on every PC. In windows, on the other hand, its installer {Media Creation Tool} just works every time on any PC. I tried to install Linux four times on my old laptop without success. I put Win 10 back on my PC with no problems. Say what you will about Microsoft and their greed and control, which is true, but at least it works without a thousand excuses!
Hi ,there are definitely pros and cons on each side. I still use Windows 10 because Adobe software is not available on Linux. The installation can be tricky for Linux because there are so many different PC hardware manufacturers and so many Linux distros (which are free, by the way). However, Linux doesn't keep up as well with all sorts of hardware as Windows does, simply because Windows is installed on about 90% of all home PCs in the world. On the contrary, Mac designs its OS for only a handful of models, which is why I've heard that their PCs, even with weaker specs than Windows PCs, can outperform them.
Hey there, so I’m having a problem where I downloaded ghe file and used etcher to put it on the usb, although you said in the video windows is not supposed to recognize the files, mine does. What should I do? (Also very time I try to boot it has the console on screen and it’s turns my keyboard and mouse off completely)
Thank you for the video . For some reason I was having difficulties with getting etcher to work on a win 7 pro computer, but my son did it easily on his win 10 computer. I successfully used your directions to install Linux mint mate and it is working fine. Also the full libre office suite, which seems to have even more capabilities than before. There are some more details about the disc partitions that I need to study but most importantly...success. 😂 Thank you
I'm trying to do this on a HP probook 4230s. Every step works until the restart where after I remove the boot device and hit enter, a massive wall of errors appears. "squashfs error unable to read ....". I've tried multiple different USBs and I've tried different versions of linux mint but still get the same result. I'm guessing this is an issue with the HP probook? If anyone has any tips or suggestions, please let me know.
Hi, see if there is a secure boot option in BIOS or UEFI and disable it if so. Then make sure that the disk where you have installed Linux is in the first boot priority. Hope it will help. Let me know!
Hi! If you already have an operating system on your computer, such as Windows 10, and choose a clean installation during the Linux Mint setup, it will automatically format the system disk where Windows was installed and replace it with Linux Mint. Therefore, it's very important to copy everything you need from Windows before proceeding. If you choose to install Linux Mint alongside Windows 10, you need to prepare a separate partition using disk management software, or you can use the built-in disk management app. There's a link to a video on how to create a dual-boot system in the description. Hope it will help.
@@RapidPhantom293 Thank you sir. I have finished the Installation. Now I have a new problem not to be able to go Online. There is no WiFi Driver installed and I get the message that all my Drivers are up to date.
Hi, f your Linux Mint installation doesn't detect or install the necessary WiFi drivers automatically, you may need to manually install them. Here's how you can do it: First, you need to determine the make and model of your WiFi adapter. You can do this by opening a terminal window and running the following command: lspci | grep Network This command will list all the network devices on your system. Look for the line that describes your WiFi adapter, which will typically include information about the manufacturer and model. Once you know the make and model of your WiFi adapter, you can search for the appropriate Linux drivers. You can do this by searching online using the make and model of your WiFi adapter along with keywords like "Linux drivers" or "Ubuntu drivers" (since Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu). Once you've found the drivers, download them onto a USB drive or transfer them to your Linux Mint installation using another method (such as Ethernet or Bluetooth tethering). Then, follow the instructions provided with the drivers to install them on your system. This may involve running installation scripts or using package management tools like apt. After installing the drivers, reboot your system to apply the changes. Once your system has rebooted, you should be able to see WiFi networks in your network manager. Click on the network icon in the system tray and select your WiFi network to connect. You may need to enter the WiFi password if it's a secured network. Hope this will help!
@@PulsarTECH This is over my head. I am 70 years old and can't be bothered going through that much trouble. I changed to Linux Mint in 2016 and it was easy. If Linux cannot make it easier for ex Windows customers, they don't deserve them.
@@darwinstubbie860 I hear you. Wi-Fi drivers have always been an issue on Linux distros. You can try Ubuntu if you like, maybe it will work out of the box. Good luck!
Does anyone know how to boot linux from a flashdrive on windows 11? I have tried changing the boot order and turning off secure boot and nothing seems to work. I know legacy boot is something to try but I cannot find an option for it in the EUFI. I have been at it for hours with no luck.
Etcher was not the right program for me Rufus was the answer and so much easier actually loaded additional files needed. Good effort and thanks but Rufus is the answer for my install
Hi, the bootable USB drive is only to get to know Linux Mint and install a permanent OS. But if you want to have a USB drive with Linux Mint where all work is saved, it's a bit different installation process. Basically you need to install permanent Linux Mint operating system not on one of your internal drives but rather on another USB drive, not the one you have flashed the iso on. Maybe I'll do a separate video on how to do it. Stay tuned!
Yes, absolutely. For that, you need to set up a dual-boot system. I have another video on my channel on how to do it. Here it is ruclips.net/video/EFJEBxg-o54/видео.html
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Fond Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed Why??
I installed this on 2 laptops today. The first one was successful. The second one after removing the USB started to show "squashfs error unable to load data or page" and a very long list of it. I had to force shutdown the laptop. When I restarted it seems fine. I hope everything is okay.
After watching many YTube videos about installing and using Linux Mint I decided to go ahead last week, using a 10 year old, Windows 10 Asus, before trying it on my current laptop. Many videos say how easy it should be, so I shouldn't have any problem, right? I created the flash drive OK. Started the installation with the option to wipe W10. But, I can't complete without the following error "Unable to install Grub in /dev/sda, Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda failed.' This is a fatal error " I tried again, no luck. I created a new flash drive on a different USB stick, no luck. I tried in Compatability Mode but it still failed at the same point. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to get around it - in novice terms
Hi, sorry to hear that. Sometimes I hear people having issues and some don't. Here's what you can try: Boot into the Linux Mint live environment (from your USB), connect to the internet, and install the Boot Repair tool: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair After installation, run Boot Repair from the terminal or the application menu and choose the recommended repair option. This should attempt to fix GRUB issues and reinstall it correctly. If your laptop uses Secure Boot (common in UEFI systems), try disabling it in the BIOS/UEFI settings. GRUB sometimes fails to install when Secure Boot is enabled. Fast Boot can interfere with the installation process as well. Disable it in your BIOS/UEFI settings. Hope this will help!
@@PulsarTECH Problem Solved. I found a tip on the web and checked BIOS to make sure fast startup and secure boot are disabled before attempting to install. Both were enabled, but after changing them the installation went smoothly.
Have installed the latest Linux Mint Victoria, problem is now the wifi: unavailable. Able to do wifi by tethering but really need full capability back. Worked before switching to Linux os
Hi, If your Wi-Fi is not being detected on Linux Mint, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue: Some laptops have a hardware switch or function key (e.g., F2, F3) to enable or disable Wi-Fi. Make sure it's turned on. Make sure your laptop is not in airplane mode, which can disable wireless connections. You can check this in the system settings. This command will restart the Network Manager service, which controls network connections: sudo service network-manager restart Ensure that your wireless adapter is recognized by Linux Mint. You can use the following command to list your network interfaces: ifconfig -a Look for entries like "wlan0" or "wlpXsY" to identify your wireless adapter. Ensure your system is up to date by running the following commands: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Linux Mint often provides additional drivers for hardware components, including wireless adapters. You can open the "Driver Manager" tool from the System Settings and check if there are any proprietary drivers available for your Wi-Fi adapter. Hope it will help!
Before i can install on my HP laptop I receive a notice that I need to turn off my Intel Rapid Storage Technology Program. However, I can only uninstall the program of which I am then told I need to omit the Optane (intel program)......
Hi, to address this situation, you can consider the following steps: Before making any changes, ensure you have a backup of important data on your laptop. Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. You can usually do this by pressing a specific key during the startup process (common keys include Esc, F2, F10, or Del). Look for an option related to Intel Optane in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Disable or turn off the Intel Optane feature. After disabling Optane, uninstall the Intel Rapid Storage Technology program through the operating system's control panel or settings. Once both Intel Optane and Rapid Storage Technology are disabled and uninstalled, proceed with the installation of Linux Mint. After successfully installing Linux Mint, you can check if Intel Optane can be re-enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings. After the installation, ensure that your system is stable and all necessary drivers are installed. Test different functionalities to confirm that the changes did not adversely affect your laptop's performance. Hope this will help!
Well, it could be due to various reasons, though I haven't experienced that before. I would suggest redownloading the ISO file and placing it in the Downloads folder. When selecting it in Balena Etcher, ensure that you choose the .iso file and not any other downloaded files. If the issue persists, try using Rufus to flash the ISO onto the USB stick. Hope this helps!
how long should the first boot take? Mine is stuck at windows screen after i removed the flash drive and pressed enter (windows surface laptop 3). Thanks
It's not uncommon for the first boot of a Linux distribution, like Linux Mint, to take a bit longer, especially when it's being installed on hardware that may have unique considerations, such as certain laptops. However, if it seems to be stuck at the loading screen, there might be an issue. If you haven't already, try restarting the laptop and see if it successfully boots into Linux Mint. Check UEFI/BIOS settings to ensure they are configured correctly for Linux. Secure Boot might sometimes cause compatibility issues. Also make sure that in the boot device priority the drive with Linux Mint on it is in the first place. Hope it will help!
It's not mandatory but if you would like you can do it. It is a bit complicated that's why I have skipped this step. If you want to see how to do it, I have showed it in my recent video about Pop OS USB drive. Check it out.
Sir. I have created an linux mint USB drive I FORMATTED USB in NTFS and I was only able to write it in NTFS. which is better format NTFS or FAT32 for linux mint bootable drive.
Hi, good question. For creating a Linux Mint bootable drive, it's typically recommended to use a file system that is native to Linux, such as ext4. This ensures better compatibility and performance. When you create a bootable Linux USB drive, the tool you use, like Rufus or Balena Etcher, typically formats the drive with an appropriate file system for Linux. Hope this helps!
Hi, check your BIOS settings to ensure that the SSD is recognized by your system. You may need to enable AHCI mode or ensure that the SSD is set as the primary boot device. During the Linux installation process, make sure you're selecting the correct drive to install Linux on and that you're partitioning it correctly. Sometimes, if the drive is not partitioned properly, it may not be recognized as having an operating system. If your system has Secure Boot enabled, try disabling it temporarily during the installation process. Hope this will help!
@@boredbrewer1998 Yes, it can be common for the preparation phase of the ubuntu-drivers installation process, including multimedia codecs, to take a significant amount of time. Several factors can contribute to this: If your internet connection is slow or unstable, downloading the necessary packages and dependencies can take longer than expected. The performance of your computer, including CPU speed, available RAM, and disk I/O, can affect the installation time. Slower systems may take longer to process and install the packages. The ubuntu-drivers installation process may need to resolve a large number of dependencies, which can take time to download, unpack, and configure. Sometimes the repository mirrors used to download the packages may be slow or experiencing high traffic, causing delays.
Hi, yes, it is possible to install and boot Linux Mint from an SD card. However, keep in mind that the performance may not be as fast as when installed on a regular hard drive or SSD. Additionally, SD cards have limited read/write cycles compared to other storage media, so constant read/write operations (common during the operating system's normal usage) may impact the lifespan of the SD card. During the installation, make sure to select the SD card as the destination for the installation. When prompted, install the GRUB boot loader to the SD card. Complete the installation process, and after it finishes, restart your computer. Ensure that your computer is set to boot from the SD card. You may need to adjust the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings. Hope it will help!
It's a bit unusual, but you should still remove the USB stick to ensure that the system boots from the designated boot drive, not from the USB stick again.
Hi, the "Verification Failed, Security Violation" error during the boot process of Linux Mint from a USB drive can occur due to various reasons, including issues with the installation media or problems with the system's UEFI/Secure Boot settings. Some systems come with Secure Boot enabled by default, which may prevent the booting of unsigned operating systems. Try disabling Secure Boot in your system's UEFI/BIOS settings. Access your system's UEFI/BIOS settings during the boot process. Look for the Secure Boot option and disable it. Save changes and exit. Ensure that your USB drive is set as the first boot device in the UEFI/BIOS settings. This ensures that the system attempts to boot from the USB drive before other devices. Some systems may have issues with UEFI booting. Try using compatibility mode if available in your UEFI/BIOS settings. If you're using a USB 3.0 port, try using a USB 2.0 port instead, or vice versa. Some systems may have compatibility issues with certain USB ports during the boot process. Hope it will help!
Hi, Yes, you can install Linux Mint on a laptop that already has Windows 11 installed, and you can typically keep your old files intact. Before making any changes to your system, it's always a good practice to back up your important files to an external drive or cloud storage. This ensures that your data is safe in case anything goes wrong during the installation process. Download the Linux Mint ISO from the official website and create a bootable USB drive. Insert the USB drive into your laptop and restart it. Boot from the Linux Mint live environment and choose the option to install Linux Mint. During the installation process, you will be prompted to choose how you want to install Linux Mint. Select the option that allows you to install Linux Mint alongside Windows. This option is often labeled as "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows" or something similar. This will create a new partition for Linux Mint without affecting your existing Windows installation. Specify the amount of disk space you want to allocate to Linux Mint. This space will be taken from the free space on your hard drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. Linux Mint will install alongside Windows, and you'll have the option to choose your operating system each time you start your laptop. After the installation is complete, you can access your old files from the Windows partition directly from Linux Mint. The Linux file manager should show the Windows partition as a separate drive. Always backup your data before making significant changes to your system. Be careful during the installation process to select the correct options to avoid unintentional data loss. Hope this will be helpful!
Hi, i installed with the option erase everything, and installation completed successfully. But when I restarted it is giving me an error that 'No operating system found'. Help
@@PulsarTECH Hi, yes i did a clean installation and mint install successfully and everything but the error kept coming that no os found. I troubleshooted using some online forums which recommended using the legacy mode instead of uefi to boot. I tried that too but it still didn't work. However there was a third option uefi without gsm ( earlier I was using the default uefi with gsm option) and it worked when I installed mint again using that option. However it wasn't working properly and booted very slowly and everything despite the fact that i have an i7 processor with 8 gb ddr4 and almost a whole tb of free disk space. So in the end I ended up installing ubuntu 22 which installed without any kind of errors and is running smoothly. Guess there was something wrong with mint cinnamon or maybe it wasn't compatible with the hardware or something.
@@PulsarTECH But man i really wanted to use cinnamon. I mean ubuntu is great and also works fine but i found cinnamon way more tempting and appeasing to use. Guess i will have to settle for this only. At least i was able to get rid of sloppy terrible windows.
If you would like to keep Windows alongside Linux, you can create a dual-boot system. Alternatively, if you prefer having only Linux on your laptop, perform a clean installation and remove Windows.
Hi, sorry to hear that. It seems like there might be an issue with the bootloader installation during the Linux Mint installation process. Ensure that your computer is set to boot from the correct drive. Access the BIOS or UEFI settings of your laptop and check the boot order. Make sure that the drive where Linux Mint is installed is set as the first boot option. If it still doesn't work try to reinstall Linux Mint, paying close attention to the installation options, especially the bootloader installation. During the installation, make sure to select the correct drive where you want the bootloader to be installed. Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes!
Hi, yes, you can use an external hard drive to install Linux Mint, although the process may vary slightly depending on your specific setup and preferences. Here's a general overview of how you can do it: Prepare the External Hard Drive: Make sure your external hard drive has enough free space to install Linux Mint. Back up any important data on the drive as the installation process will erase everything on it. Follow the Installation Wizard: The Linux Mint installer will guide you through the installation process. Follow the prompts to select your language, keyboard layout, time zone, and other settings. When prompted, choose your external hard drive as the installation location. Once you've selected the installation options and confirmed the settings, proceed with the installation process. Linux Mint will be installed on your external hard drive. After the installation is complete, you may need to restart your computer and adjust the boot order settings in the BIOS/UEFI to boot from the external hard drive. By following these steps, you can install Linux Mint on an external hard drive and use it as a portable operating system that you can boot from different computers. Hope it will help!
Hi, yes, indeed, it took around 2 minutes to download the ISO, but I have fast-forwarded it to make it look even faster. My internet provider speed is around 600-800 Mbps, so it doesn't take long to download a 2GB file.
I just hate all the tracking and always turning on my computer to a new windows update that changes thing for no reason and almost always makes the experience worse. So that's one of the main reasons why I'm trying to switch to Linux.
It's completely understandable why you're considering a switch to Linux. Many users appreciate the increased control, privacy, and transparency that Linux offers. With Linux, you have the ability to customize your system according to your preferences, and updates are typically more in your control. I hope this video will be helpful to you. Let me know how it goes!

Hi, try switching to another USB port on your computer. Sometimes certain ports may have compatibility issues. Try formatting your USB drive and re-creating the bootable USB. Make sure your BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to boot from USB. You may need to access your computer's BIOS/UEFI setup menu (usually by pressing F2, F12, ESC, or DEL during boot) and set the USB drive as the primary boot device. If you're using UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled, try disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Some Linux distributions, including Linux Mint, may not boot properly with Secure Boot enabled. If you're having trouble booting with UEFI, try enabling Legacy Boot mode in your BIOS/UEFI settings. However, note that this might not be an option on all systems, especially newer ones designed for UEFI. If none of the above solutions work, try using a different USB drive. Sometimes certain USB drives may not be compatible with the bootloader or firmware of your computer. Hope it will help!

Every step works until the restart where after I remove the boot device and hit enter, a massive wall of errors appears. "squashfs error unable to read ....".
I've tried multiple different USBs and I've tried different versions of linux mint but still get the same result. I'm guessing this is an issue with the HP probook? If anyone has any tips or suggestions, please let me know.
Hi, see if there is a secure boot option in BIOS or UEFI and disable it if so. Then make sure that the disk where you have installed Linux is in the first boot priority. Hope it will help. Let me know!
@@PulsarTECH Enabling UEFI has it working now! Thank you!
@@Aosa_Aosa glad to hear that! Enjoy
Wonder why they have removed support for the 32-bit operating systems? Some older PC only work with 32-bit. Thanks for the vid.
Good question!
It is getting quite old and not many computers don't support 64-bit nowadays.
probably because of maintenance costs
nice tutorial :)
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you

I kept getting an error while trying to flash the iso file it keeps saying error trying to open the file
Hi, try using a different flashing program something like Rufus.
How do you choose which drive you want LM installed on?
Hi! If you already have an operating system on your computer, such as Windows 10, and choose a clean installation during the Linux Mint setup, it will automatically format the system disk where Windows was installed and replace it with Linux Mint. Therefore, it's very important to copy everything you need from Windows before proceeding.
If you choose to install Linux Mint alongside Windows 10, you need to prepare a separate partition using disk management software, or you can use the built-in disk management app. There's a link to a video on how to create a dual-boot system in the description. Hope it will help.
Something went wrong while opening problem in balena etcher flash from file plz help
Hi, try Rufus instead.
Great video. It worked on my Windows 10 PC. Unfortunately it did not work on Windows 11 Laptop and I am getting a Secure Boot message.
I think you have to disable secure boot before installing linux mint.
@@RapidPhantom293 Thank you sir. I have finished the Installation. Now I have a new problem not to be able to go Online. There is no WiFi Driver installed and I get the message that all my Drivers are up to date.
Hi, f your Linux Mint installation doesn't detect or install the necessary WiFi drivers automatically, you may need to manually install them. Here's how you can do it:
First, you need to determine the make and model of your WiFi adapter. You can do this by opening a terminal window and running the following command:
lspci | grep Network
This command will list all the network devices on your system. Look for the line that describes your WiFi adapter, which will typically include information about the manufacturer and model.
Once you know the make and model of your WiFi adapter, you can search for the appropriate Linux drivers. You can do this by searching online using the make and model of your WiFi adapter along with keywords like "Linux drivers" or "Ubuntu drivers" (since Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu).
Once you've found the drivers, download them onto a USB drive or transfer them to your Linux Mint installation using another method (such as Ethernet or Bluetooth tethering). Then, follow the instructions provided with the drivers to install them on your system. This may involve running installation scripts or using package management tools like apt.
After installing the drivers, reboot your system to apply the changes.
Once your system has rebooted, you should be able to see WiFi networks in your network manager. Click on the network icon in the system tray and select your WiFi network to connect. You may need to enter the WiFi password if it's a secured network.
Hope this will help!
@@PulsarTECH This is over my head. I am 70 years old and can't be bothered going through that much trouble. I changed to Linux Mint in 2016 and it was easy. If Linux cannot make it easier for ex Windows customers, they don't deserve them.
@@darwinstubbie860 I hear you. Wi-Fi drivers have always been an issue on Linux distros. You can try Ubuntu if you like, maybe it will work out of the box. Good luck!

Does anyone know how to boot linux from a flashdrive on windows 11? I have tried changing the boot order and turning off secure boot and nothing seems to work. I know legacy boot is something to try but I cannot find an option for it in the EUFI. I have been at it for hours with no luck.
Hi, Fast Boot can sometimes interfere with booting from a USB drive. Disable it if it’s enabled.
how to go back to windows?
Etcher was not the right program for me Rufus was the answer and so much easier actually loaded additional files needed.
Good effort and thanks but Rufus is the answer for my install
Glad it helped. Rufus sometimes works better for some people. Though for me Etcher worked every time on various machines.
I've made this bootable USB drive. I work on it but when I restart laptop everything - all my work, installed software gone. What to do?
Hi, the bootable USB drive is only to get to know Linux Mint and install a permanent OS. But if you want to have a USB drive with Linux Mint where all work is saved, it's a bit different installation process. Basically you need to install permanent Linux Mint operating system not on one of your internal drives but rather on another USB drive, not the one you have flashed the iso on. Maybe I'll do a separate video on how to do it. Stay tuned!
@@PulsarTECH Thank you for clear it up. I thought I've made somewhere mistake. Nevertheless this software is awesome! THX

What if linux cant see the drive i want to install it to?
Thank you very much. Can I install it in addition to windows 10 and use both OSs on my laptop without loosing my Data ?
Yes, absolutely. For that, you need to set up a dual-boot system. I have another video on my channel on how to do it. Here it is ruclips.net/video/EFJEBxg-o54/видео.html

plzz help,i cant install balena etcher on windows 8.1
Hi, if you cannot install BalenaEtcher, try to download and install Rufus instead.
After watching many YTube videos about installing and using Linux Mint I decided to go ahead last week, using a 10 year old, Windows 10 Asus, before trying it on my current laptop. Many videos say how easy it should be, so I shouldn't have any problem, right? I created the flash drive OK. Started the installation with the option to wipe W10. But, I can't complete without the following error "Unable to install Grub in /dev/sda, Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda failed.' This is a fatal error " I tried again, no luck. I created a new flash drive on a different USB stick, no luck. I tried in Compatability Mode but it still failed at the same point. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to get around it - in novice terms
Hi, sorry to hear that. Sometimes I hear people having issues and some don't. Here's what you can try: Boot into the Linux Mint live environment (from your USB), connect to the internet, and install the Boot Repair tool:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
After installation, run Boot Repair from the terminal or the application menu and choose the recommended repair option. This should attempt to fix GRUB issues and reinstall it correctly.
If your laptop uses Secure Boot (common in UEFI systems), try disabling it in the BIOS/UEFI settings. GRUB sometimes fails to install when Secure Boot is enabled.
Fast Boot can interfere with the installation process as well. Disable it in your BIOS/UEFI settings.
Hope this will help!
@@PulsarTECH Problem Solved. I found a tip on the web and checked BIOS to make sure fast startup and secure boot are disabled before attempting to install. Both were enabled, but after changing them the installation went smoothly.
@@mikehefford6499 good, thanks for the update!
Have installed the latest Linux Mint Victoria, problem is now the wifi: unavailable. Able to do wifi by tethering but really need full capability back. Worked before switching to Linux os
Hi,
If your Wi-Fi is not being detected on Linux Mint, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue: Some laptops have a hardware switch or function key (e.g., F2, F3) to enable or disable Wi-Fi. Make sure it's turned on.
Make sure your laptop is not in airplane mode, which can disable wireless connections. You can check this in the system settings.
This command will restart the Network Manager service, which controls network connections: sudo service network-manager restart
Ensure that your wireless adapter is recognized by Linux Mint. You can use the following command to list your network interfaces: ifconfig -a
Look for entries like "wlan0" or "wlpXsY" to identify your wireless adapter.
Ensure your system is up to date by running the following commands: sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Linux Mint often provides additional drivers for hardware components, including wireless adapters. You can open the "Driver Manager" tool from the System Settings and check if there are any proprietary drivers available for your Wi-Fi adapter.
Hope it will help!
Before i can install on my HP laptop I receive a notice that I need to turn off my Intel Rapid Storage Technology Program. However, I can only uninstall the program of which I am then told I need to omit the Optane (intel program)......
Hi, to address this situation, you can consider the following steps:
Before making any changes, ensure you have a backup of important data on your laptop.
Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. You can usually do this by pressing a specific key during the startup process (common keys include Esc, F2, F10, or Del).
Look for an option related to Intel Optane in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Disable or turn off the Intel Optane feature.
After disabling Optane, uninstall the Intel Rapid Storage Technology program through the operating system's control panel or settings.
Once both Intel Optane and Rapid Storage Technology are disabled and uninstalled, proceed with the installation of Linux Mint.
After successfully installing Linux Mint, you can check if Intel Optane can be re-enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
After the installation, ensure that your system is stable and all necessary drivers are installed. Test different functionalities to confirm that the changes did not adversely affect your laptop's performance.
Hope this will help!
When I selected the linux file it didn't appear in etcher what could be the issue?
Well, it could be due to various reasons, though I haven't experienced that before. I would suggest redownloading the ISO file and placing it in the Downloads folder. When selecting it in Balena Etcher, ensure that you choose the .iso file and not any other downloaded files. If the issue persists, try using Rufus to flash the ISO onto the USB stick. Hope this helps!
@@PulsarTECHetcher wasn't working for me so I used rufus
@@ThBreadMan okay, glad it worked for you!
how long should the first boot take? Mine is stuck at windows screen after i removed the flash drive and pressed enter (windows surface laptop 3). Thanks
It's not uncommon for the first boot of a Linux distribution, like Linux Mint, to take a bit longer, especially when it's being installed on hardware that may have unique considerations, such as certain laptops. However, if it seems to be stuck at the loading screen, there might be an issue.
If you haven't already, try restarting the laptop and see if it successfully boots into Linux Mint.
Check UEFI/BIOS settings to ensure they are configured correctly for Linux. Secure Boot might sometimes cause compatibility issues.
Also make sure that in the boot device priority the drive with Linux Mint on it is in the first place. Hope it will help!
Thinking of doing this on my hp laptop. Is it necessary to verify the iso if you download it from the mint website?
It's not mandatory but if you would like you can do it. It is a bit complicated that's why I have skipped this step. If you want to see how to do it, I have showed it in my recent video about Pop OS USB drive. Check it out.
Sir. I have created an linux mint USB drive I FORMATTED USB in NTFS and I was only able to write it in NTFS. which is better format NTFS or FAT32 for linux mint bootable drive.
Hi, good question. For creating a Linux Mint bootable drive, it's typically recommended to use a file system that is native to Linux, such as ext4. This ensures better compatibility and performance. When you create a bootable Linux USB drive, the tool you use, like Rufus or Balena Etcher, typically formats the drive with an appropriate file system for Linux. Hope this helps!
Whenever I install Linux the way you tell it. It says there's no os on my ssd can you diagnose my problem
Hi, check your BIOS settings to ensure that the SSD is recognized by your system. You may need to enable AHCI mode or ensure that the SSD is set as the primary boot device.
During the Linux installation process, make sure you're selecting the correct drive to install Linux on and that you're partitioning it correctly. Sometimes, if the drive is not partitioned properly, it may not be recognized as having an operating system.
If your system has Secure Boot enabled, try disabling it temporarily during the installation process.
Hope this will help!
I fixed it. It was in legacy mode i switched it to uefi boot
@@namitshah9535 great! Glad it's working now.
@@PulsarTECHIs it common for the preparing ubuntu-driver installation process in the multimedia codecs to take a long time?
@@boredbrewer1998 Yes, it can be common for the preparation phase of the ubuntu-drivers installation process, including multimedia codecs, to take a significant amount of time. Several factors can contribute to this:
If your internet connection is slow or unstable, downloading the necessary packages and dependencies can take longer than expected.
The performance of your computer, including CPU speed, available RAM, and disk I/O, can affect the installation time. Slower systems may take longer to process and install the packages.
The ubuntu-drivers installation process may need to resolve a large number of dependencies, which can take time to download, unpack, and configure.
Sometimes the repository mirrors used to download the packages may be slow or experiencing high traffic, causing delays.
Hello, can I use my SD card instead of USB?
Hi, yes, it is possible to install and boot Linux Mint from an SD card. However, keep in mind that the performance may not be as fast as when installed on a regular hard drive or SSD. Additionally, SD cards have limited read/write cycles compared to other storage media, so constant read/write operations (common during the operating system's normal usage) may impact the lifespan of the SD card.
During the installation, make sure to select the SD card as the destination for the installation.
When prompted, install the GRUB boot loader to the SD card.
Complete the installation process, and after it finishes, restart your computer.
Ensure that your computer is set to boot from the SD card. You may need to adjust the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings.
Hope it will help!
@@PulsarTECH Thank you for detail answer, I'll keep those things in mind. Thank you once again

I'm not getting this window 16:28 which says to remove the usb
It's a bit unusual, but you should still remove the USB stick to ensure that the system boots from the designated boot drive, not from the USB stick again.
when i choose to boot from the usb i am faced with a verification failed, security violation screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi, the "Verification Failed, Security Violation" error during the boot process of Linux Mint from a USB drive can occur due to various reasons, including issues with the installation media or problems with the system's UEFI/Secure Boot settings.
Some systems come with Secure Boot enabled by default, which may prevent the booting of unsigned operating systems. Try disabling Secure Boot in your system's UEFI/BIOS settings.
Access your system's UEFI/BIOS settings during the boot process.
Look for the Secure Boot option and disable it. Save changes and exit.
Ensure that your USB drive is set as the first boot device in the UEFI/BIOS settings. This ensures that the system attempts to boot from the USB drive before other devices.
Some systems may have issues with UEFI booting. Try using compatibility mode if available in your UEFI/BIOS settings.
If you're using a USB 3.0 port, try using a USB 2.0 port instead, or vice versa. Some systems may have compatibility issues with certain USB ports during the boot process.
Hope it will help!
Hi, i wanted to install on a laptop installed with win 11.
. . i don't need the win 11, but I want my old files intact. Can that be done ?
Hi,
Yes, you can install Linux Mint on a laptop that already has Windows 11 installed, and you can typically keep your old files intact. Before making any changes to your system, it's always a good practice to back up your important files to an external drive or cloud storage. This ensures that your data is safe in case anything goes wrong during the installation process.
Download the Linux Mint ISO from the official website and create a bootable USB drive.
Insert the USB drive into your laptop and restart it.
Boot from the Linux Mint live environment and choose the option to install Linux Mint. During the installation process, you will be prompted to choose how you want to install Linux Mint.
Select the option that allows you to install Linux Mint alongside Windows. This option is often labeled as "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows" or something similar. This will create a new partition for Linux Mint without affecting your existing Windows installation.
Specify the amount of disk space you want to allocate to Linux Mint. This space will be taken from the free space on your hard drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. Linux Mint will install alongside Windows, and you'll have the option to choose your operating system each time you start your laptop.
After the installation is complete, you can access your old files from the Windows partition directly from Linux Mint. The Linux file manager should show the Windows partition as a separate drive.
Always backup your data before making significant changes to your system.
Be careful during the installation process to select the correct options to avoid unintentional data loss.
Hope this will be helpful!

@@PulsarTECH Hi, yes i did a clean installation and mint install successfully and everything but the error kept coming that no os found. I troubleshooted using some online forums which recommended using the legacy mode instead of uefi to boot. I tried that too but it still didn't work.

Hi, sorry to hear that. It seems like there might be an issue with the bootloader installation during the Linux Mint installation process. Ensure that your computer is set to boot from the correct drive.
Access the BIOS or UEFI settings of your laptop and check the boot order. Make sure that the drive where Linux Mint is installed is set as the first boot option.
If it still doesn't work try to reinstall Linux Mint, paying close attention to the installation options, especially the bootloader installation.
During the installation, make sure to select the correct drive where you want the bootloader to be installed. Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes!
GRUB fail to install.... Pain in the B!...
can i used a external hard drive?
Hi, yes, you can use an external hard drive to install Linux Mint, although the process may vary slightly depending on your specific setup and preferences. Here's a general overview of how you can do it:
Prepare the External Hard Drive: Make sure your external hard drive has enough free space to install Linux Mint. Back up any important data on the drive as the installation process will erase everything on it.
Follow the Installation Wizard: The Linux Mint installer will guide you through the installation process. Follow the prompts to select your language, keyboard layout, time zone, and other settings. When prompted, choose your external hard drive as the installation location.
Once you've selected the installation options and confirmed the settings, proceed with the installation process. Linux Mint will be installed on your external hard drive. After the installation is complete, you may need to restart your computer and adjust the boot order settings in the BIOS/UEFI to boot from the external hard drive.
By following these steps, you can install Linux Mint on an external hard drive and use it as a portable operating system that you can boot from different computers. Hope it will help!

USB won't load. Can you help please.
Hi, try switching to another USB port on your computer. Sometimes certain ports may have compatibility issues.
Try formatting your USB drive and re-creating the bootable USB.
Make sure your BIOS/UEFI settings are configured to boot from USB. You may need to access your computer's BIOS/UEFI setup menu (usually by pressing F2, F12, ESC, or DEL during boot) and set the USB drive as the primary boot device.
If you're using UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled, try disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Some Linux distributions, including Linux Mint, may not boot properly with Secure Boot enabled.
If you're having trouble booting with UEFI, try enabling Legacy Boot mode in your BIOS/UEFI settings. However, note that this might not be an option on all systems, especially newer ones designed for UEFI.
If none of the above solutions work, try using a different USB drive. Sometimes certain USB drives may not be compatible with the bootloader or firmware of your computer.
