Best video for dual boot installation of windows and mint. I wish I had checked this video first. I used another guide to install and ended up with strange partitions and a boot drive that was way too small. Don't bother with any of that noise on your first linux install, it serves no purpose. This is the way to go and thank-you for making this video. All things considered I could have done this entirely on my own as it is so simple but it was nice to have someone confirm it before taking the plunge.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial. It got my up and dual booting in next to no time. I just got confused at one point because I'd already created a partition for Linux via Windows disk manager. I also had a second drive, with several partitions, in my computer. As a result, the instraller didn't give me options about where to install Linux, except unsder "other," which confused the heck out of me.. So, I turned off the computer, temporarily disconnected my second drive then used Windows to expand the primary partition to fill the whole remaining drive. I then re-ran the Linux installer and everything went just as you show in your video. Thanks again!
Same here. Creating a partition for Linux is better to avoid bugs since this "side to side" installation could generate GRUB errors occasionally. But I still struggling with the partition 😬😐
Awesome! This is what I call a clear and crisp, up to the point instruction video. No ambiguities whatever. Loved it so much. Many thanks for making it dear friend. Much love. Good luck and cheers! 😊👍
Holy shit dude thank you I don't normally put comments on videos but yours really deserves it! It really helped me out a whole lot! I was not able to figure this out until I watched your video so thank you so much!
Thanks a lot bro I managed to install both windows and linux mint 20 on my portable external hard drive. Now I'm able to dual boot both of my laptop's from my external hard drive after watching your video...
Great clear explanation! I have been using Mint on one of my laptops but am purchasing another and i may do the dual boot giving Windows a small % of space! I find Mint does everything i need and is not sluggish like Windows.
hi there i have a dell studio 1555 on win 10. do i need to update or change any bios settings to install this. updater says latest bios already installed
Was having some trouble, saw this video then I realized I downloaded a separate fork, probably university made. Felt stupid, but you made it right lol. Got it installed on my laptop alongside windows and I've been enjoying the lightweight aspect of mint. I know it's not the lightest option but it's way less resource hungry than windows, it really stretches battery life. Very user friendly and would recommend anyone to try mint as a windows alternative to slowly introduce yourself to Linux.
Thank you. Succinct and wonderfully described. I am encouraged to give it a try as abandoned Windows some years ago but have limited need for Windows OS now.
I'm going to try it now. I installed Linux a few years back and I wasn't ready for it. This seems like a great way to become comfortable with Linux while having a bit of a safety net with Windows.
@Hans Hiden In the end I succeeded. I don't fault the video at all. I had to look up how to enter boot mode on my Huawei, I also had to watch another video because my laptop did not create a new partition. Once I learned how to create space on my hard drive, when to insert my USB and the trick of reachicng the boot screen - success. A little extra effort was worth it. Good luck
Excellent video, you speak clearly and the content is spot on, I appreciate that you fast forward the downloads and installations, Very well done, Thank You. Now wish me luck :-)
If you have windows installed only on one partition, then go to diskmgmt and create another partition. Also before installation, select the non-uefi version of the usb drive in the boot menu.
@@MdHaroonAhmedKhan I think you may have just answered my question! So I shrink the existing partition to make room for linux. Do I have to make another partition in that free space or will linux install in the free space without making another partition?
Is there a way to set this dual boot up so that each system can share files? If so could you make a video about it? I've seen it demonstrated using Vertual Box but I haven't seen it done with dual boot.
Linux can see and access the files on the windows partition, whereas Windows won't even realise the Linux partition is there and can't read the Linux Ext4 file system. Thus you can share files if you keep them on the windows partition. A much better alternative is to install linux, and then run windows as a virtual machine inside linux. It may seem intimidating but some good vids here (look up installing Windows 10 on virtualbox). With this method you can actually RUN Linux and windows simultaneously. Also you can easily create shared folders which work bidirectional ly
...some tutorial was mention to disable "secure boot from UEFI" (BIOS ? Windows ?), this secure prevent some windows cracks in Windows 8.1, Windows 10. Also mess Linux install.
linux mint or any other distro should be installed in a separate ssd along with the boot loader. That way it will be completely independent. Though you will need to either use bios boot device menu, or change the boot device priority to be able to boot in linux mint.
I'm running Win 10 and Mint 19.3. I always freak out when I upgrade. Tell me, please, how to over-write 19.3 with 20.1. Do I delete the Linux partitions, to make 1 partition to install 20? Thanks! Very good, clear tutorial, except for this one question.
Yes, as i know there is direct over-write function. I think it will keep the files of your previous version, but i'm absolutely not sure about this. But maybe you already done this because your comment is from 8 month, but who knows
Sir i haven't show the 1st option " install linux mint alongside windows10" in installation type... Only shown other options.... Please fix my problem...
Many thanks! One question. I have my Windows installed on the HDD and want to install linux mint on SDD. Will the process be the same as shown in the video?
My computer has two hard disks one with Windows10 installed and the other pre-installed with Linux mint, I use the "F8" key for the boot menu every time if I need to switch to Linux otherwise it will boot to wind10 but I want Linux or Windows 10 to be my primary syatem, I don't want to use the P8 key every time.
Windows user trying something new here. Just installed to A SD card to try. Thank you. Quick question when I download packages and applications does it install them also on the SD card?
Did this for a dual boot of Win7 and Mint 19.2, but messed with the partions and messed up Windows, so I had to wipe and install Mint. Don't really regret it, but there were a couple windows programs I wished I still had access to. Just watched your Mint 20 update for doing mine later this week.
Thank you Jay! However, I'm concerned with the "Something Else" option, because I'd like to know if the partition is a Primary or a Logical! Anyhow, your explanation is excellent, but would like you to make one with the Something Else" option please?
@@budexlexxy9319 It will only brick your machine if you don't understand how partitions work. That options requires a bit of technical knowledge, which is quite risky.
Thank you very much for your guide. Is there a way to take a backup image of the ssd with the 2 operating systems for later restoring? is there a freeware software to do it?
What's missing is how to UNinstall Linux and restore the system to the pre-Linux condition if you decide you don't want to run Linux. I suppose one option would be to just nuke the internal drive by reformatting it, then using the backup made before installing Linux (we DID make the backup, right?), but is there an easier/faster way?
Thx for the video. Does this dual boot method slow down the processor - or would my windows sessions run almost as quickly after installing Linux mint as dual boot?
Hi what if I want to install mint linux on a separate drive?is it possible? I already installed win10 on one ssd 240g.i have a 128g ssd for linux..but not showing 128 GB disk when I try to install linux...can you help?
So. What would I do if I do not have the button to install linux alongside windows? As in, the windows OS wasn't detected by linux. Instead of partitioning a single drive I am installing linux to a seaperate drive, if that helps.
would this be the same process if I want to install linux on one hard drive and keep windows on my other hard drive and choose which one boots up upon power up of my desktop
amazing tutorial sir, I respect, but sir at 9:06 I forgot to select the drive option C and installed in wrong drive D so, It does not prompt me to choose OS it directly starting Windows 10.....Plz help me to fix it sir,
Hey man, I recently found myself in a predicament. So, I finished installing Linux like you said but when I want to load linux it goes straight directly to windows! I didn't even show the grub
It is because your default os boot manager is set to "windows boot manager" in bios settings 1) go to bios settings> system configuration> boot options > go to uefi boot order ( if installed through uefi) then by default it will be "OS Boot manager" just press " ENTER" on OS Boot manager , then you will see 2 options i.e windows boot manager and Ubuntu, " just press "F5" or" F6" and bring Ubuntu on First and windows below it then press F10 to " save" and exit from bios then after boot you will see grub menu as shown in video. It worked for me hope will work on your pc too :)
@@saberkouki5760 If you installed Windows after LM it will wipe out grub. Reinstall grub from a Live Mint CD and it will detect both. Windows won't detect Linux if you do that second. If you install Linux second over Windows it will set up the dual boot menu in the bootloader.
Can it be possible to install on a separate drive? I have an Asus TUF X570 board and have my main windows 10 on a M.2 drive and wanted to install linux on the second M.2 slot. would it cause interference later on or would it be easier to use an SSD via SATA?
@@AchiragChiragg yes its possible. So i had windows 10 installed on one nvme. Then when installing linux theres three options, one for erase disk, other and partition. I went with other and on the drop menu i chose the blank nvme and it installed with no issues.
@@donatello956 thanks man. I have windows 10 installed on my 128GB SSD and have a 1TB HDD (which doesn't have any partitions)for my media, do I need to make a partition on my HDD to install Linux on the HDD ?
@@renaldomelendez Thank you... Tried it again, seems the issue is to do with my UEFI Secure Boot, I had to disable it in the system BIOS and I ran the installation again , this time I was able to see "Install alongside windows option"... While I was able to install and run Linux Mint successfully, I'm facing a new issue with my windows 7 boot up. Windows 7 is not booting up, says some issue with my sda partition... Thinking of wiping it clean and installing only Linux Mint... I'm ok to run only Linux Mint on this PC, since it is my old one (back-up)... Can anyone help with the windows sda partition issue?
This was great up to the installation type page. My mint 20 install only gave 2 choices--erase disk and install linux mint and Something Else...nothing about dual boot.
I installed Windows10 Home from a 120gb SSD onto a 240gb ssd. This left 120gb unallocated on the 240gb SSD. I then installed LinuxMint 20.3 Cinnamon to the unallocated section. During the installation LinuxMint automatically installed the dual boot. It will automatically boot LinuxMint. If I want Windows 10 Home I just do the switch. Everything works like a charm. I transfer files between both operating systems by using a fat32 flash drive.
Hello Sir ! I Have An Issue ! How Can I Fix Tht ? Edit : Connect To Wifi To fix Tht Error ! Issue : While in the installation Setup in Linux Mint . I don't see option ( 8:20 ) . Can U Help Me ? Please !
You probably had downloaded other version besides the mentioned in the tutorial. Remember linux mint has a lot of diferent versions. If you wanna have the last one, you should download it from the oficcial website of linux mint.
Trying to accomplish this as we speak. I have a a Lenovo P300 desktop. It has 2x 2 TB (Total 4 TB) hard drives. I want to be able to run Google Pro and 1 or 2 games that are Windows reliant so I will need to keep Windows 10. At this time, one of the two hard drives is completely empty. I never used it. Am I looking at the same procedures you used in this video ? OR ? Thanks for the video and any information for my situation.
is it possible to install, e.g., five different Linux distros to compare/try them out - with any sharing of resources/drive space, or would each distro require quite a bit of disk space/resources, thereby limiting the practicality to only 2 or 3?
thank you for an excellent overview of how to install linux mint. i just purchased a usb with it on it. my intention is to see if i can revive both my old laptops. if that goes well, i want to dual boot with windows on my desktop to test out and then if i like that, get rid of windows 10 WHICH I HATE1 It is always so slow, seems like it is endlessly updating and probably stealing my data. in my early computer career in the early 80s i worked on unix and so i realized that this could be an elegant answer to dump windows once and for all1 thank you so much1
Thanks for the awesome video. I am not seeing an option to do a dual boot when asking to install Linux, as it is in your video - only "erase everything". Could there be something wrong with my original windows partition systems etc? Says it hasn’t detected Windows as the existing OS. thank you.
So the installer resizes existing partitions itself to match whatever is written? Can I not delete a windows partition of appropriate size, like E:\ where I keep odds and ends, and then install Mint there? How would the screen look then? Assuming I deleted a 100GB partition, and set the Linux space to 90GB just to be sure, would the Windows partitions remain untouched and unresized and the installation will go in the unallocated space? Yes, backup first :D...
You carefully identify the Linux mint partitions and delete them, then install another distro using its dualboot guide. To delete the partitions in windows right click on the start menu > Disk management and then delete them. Hope this helps and never give up! EDIT: Go to the efi partition and remove the linux mint grub things, the partition can quickly get over if not done so
Great tutorial 🔥🔥tho I'd recommend Ventoy to make Bootable flash drives, since it's as easy as copy pasting the iso file into the flash drive 👌🏾.You can have multiple isos on the same flash drive which I think is really cool 🔥🔥🔥oh and it's open source too🔥

Pls help I can't boot again from windows after installing mint 20. I tried to manually boot to windows in bios setup but error message appears.
What error ?
@@peermohamed.m8914 thanks for your interest
. I managed to solve it
@@mahmoudzaher5985 What was the problem? and how did you fix it?
Trying to accomplish this as we speak. I have a a Lenovo P300 desktop. It has 2x 2 TB (Total 4 TB) hard drives. I want to be able to run Google Pro and 1 or 2 games that are Windows reliant so I will need to keep Windows 10. At this time, one of the two hard drives is completely empty. I never used it. Am I looking at the same procedures you used in this video ? OR ? Thanks for the video and any information for my situation.
How do I get my USB back to normal. It's showing that it's Full capacity is 4 MB, but it is really 25 GB??
HELP??
Did it fixed now?? Or i can help

I actually made a video yesterday on how to do it. Here it is
ruclips.net/video/UjFEKpeVc1s/видео.html
Awesome shirt and great tutorial!
is it possible to install, e.g., five different Linux distros to compare/try them out - with any sharing of resources/drive space, or would each distro require quite a bit of disk space/resources, thereby limiting the practicality to only 2 or 3?
Good work. Thank you!
thank you for an excellent overview of how to install linux mint. i just purchased a usb with it on it. my intention is to see if i can revive both my old laptops. if that goes well, i want to dual boot with windows on my desktop to test out and then if i like that, get rid of windows 10 WHICH I HATE1 It is always so slow, seems like it is endlessly updating and probably stealing my data. in my early computer career in the early 80s i worked on unix and so i realized that this could be an elegant answer to dump windows once and for all1 thank you so much1
Excellent video, thanks a lot!
Really it's works .. Awesome job.
Thanks for the awesome video. I am not seeing an option to do a dual boot when asking to install Linux, as it is in your video - only "erase everything". Could there be something wrong with my original windows partition systems etc? Says it hasn’t detected Windows as the existing OS. thank you.
So the installer resizes existing partitions itself to match whatever is written? Can I not delete a windows partition of appropriate size, like E:\ where I keep odds and ends, and then install Mint there? How would the screen look then? Assuming I deleted a 100GB partition, and set the Linux space to 90GB just to be sure, would the Windows partitions remain untouched and unresized and the installation will go in the unallocated space? Yes, backup first :D...
What if I don't have that install alongside windows option even though I do have windows
Super , very good !
Amazing!❤️
What if I wanted to replace mint with another distro? Is the process the same?
You carefully identify the Linux mint partitions and delete them, then install another distro using its dualboot guide. To delete the partitions in windows right click on the start menu > Disk management and then delete them. Hope this helps and never give up!
EDIT: Go to the efi partition and remove the linux mint grub things, the partition can quickly get over if not done so
I'm getting a new computer soon, should dual booting be the first thing i do when i get it?
Great tutorial 🔥🔥tho I'd recommend Ventoy to make Bootable flash drives, since it's as easy as copy pasting the iso file into the flash drive 👌🏾.You can have multiple isos on the same flash drive which I think is really cool 🔥🔥🔥oh and it's open source too🔥
