Lost my windows 7 laptop with 13 plus years of use to a crash. Got a sweet deal on this t450 with windows 10.
Have wanted Linux since the Amiga was around. This is the best time to begin the change to learn. I have thought long about the setup and just get confused (I'm 71) about gnu/grub, penliux,unetinbootin, rufus, ecther and a few other terms.
Just need some concise instructions to deal with booting USB first or the choice of drive (1) as second and fixing Linux Mint to boot from the USB stick and having the use of the SSD drive to run either OS, one at a time.
Anyone brave enough to walk me through these few stumbles, please take one step forward?
