I messed up a dual boot of Linux Mint 20 and Windows 10 quite badly in my opinion, and I think I need help cleaning the mess and doing a new dual boot
@wizardfromoz @captain-sensible I cannot upload a video of the booting process, but I'm home and I'll start the new dual boot installation right now. I'll let you know if it was successful. Very excited! -

This is something I love about Linux, propably the most. It's what makes Linux Linux today, it's the community and the helpful users who love sharing their advice to others. -

Thank you so much, both of you, @wizardfromoz and @captain-sensible. I luckily keep all my important data on cloud services and several external data storage devices, just in case things go haywire one way or another.

And one thing to I want to say, I did a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 10 with the exact same instructions on an older laptop I had laying around, did it using Legacy mode on BIOS. Was it successful because of that? I have no idea, but I screwed this one up. But it's not really necessary... -

I'll do as instructed, although I showed a picture of how my GParted looks like right now in the initiating post, but oh well, just to be safe and sound I will provide a new one just to be safe. I can get back on the matter on Friday when I get to go home. -

I managed to fix it in a way, I can boot into Linux Mint as I told. It's hard to explain, but I'll get back on it on Friday. I'm on campus now and I don't have my home laptop with me. If there's something you want to ask, I can answer. I'll try to think of a more detailed or otherwise better... -

Hey! I found some pictures that I actually took during the installation progress that might be helpful, I'm not sure if they are, but hopefully they are. Here I made the partitions. And here I started goofing up. -

So, the laptop I use is an HP Pavilion (something), cannot remember the exact type, and I'm sorry. But I think it is one or two years old, and because it is so new, it definitely has UEFI and an EFI partition on the hard drive. While I was doing the dual boot, I followed the instructions of...
