Greetings and Welcome, Liispeth, and hello Cap,
I understand someone called for the Old Geezer to trundle on in and get more egg on his face. LOL.
I have a fairly new HP Laptop with Win 10 on it.
Don't know if this will work for you or not, but you could give it a try.
According to your #5 post above, you do have UEFI enabled. Good.
Before you start up the cp, plug in the USB Stick with the LM iso on it. {I'm assuming it is Linux Mint 19.3}
Begin:
1-Start button.
2-Press and hold 'Escape' key. {Down at bottom left corner tells to press the 'esc' key}
3-Next window to show up gives several options F-1, F-2, F-9, F-10, F-11.
4-Choose F-9. 'Boot Device Options.'
5-Next window is 'Boot Manager'.
6-There will be several options.
7-Choose USB Hard Drive (UEFI) Name of your stick (mine was Centon)
8-Click on that choice.
9-Next screen should be 'Grub Menu' open with Linux Mint 19.3 on it.
10-Click on it and the LM screen should open.
11-You will see the LM logo in middle of black screen and panel at bottom, and install option on left side of screen.
From there you can either do the install or play with everything to see if they work.
Ordinary install is pretty straightforward. Just have to follow the directions on the screen.
Hope this helps.
In case it doesn't, let us know what did not work and we'll see what we can do.
Screenshots certainly do help a lot {which is probably why I did not show any. LOL}
Signing off for now, but I'll be watching.
