I might have found my Linux to convert too.....this looks awfully good.... |^|

Dennis, what's the drawback for using 'Mint' side by side with Win10 while I'm getting used to it??......I'm concerned about all my bookmarks/vids/pics, etc...and being able to transfer them...

When you are booted into Linux it will be able to read files on you Windows partitions.....  so you should be able to copy files back and forth.

Most of the browsers should just sync up your favorites and web related info.  I use Chrome everywhere and all my "stuff" just goes with me.

Do I need to partition first?...or will 'Mint' do that on install??......I imagine it will because one of the install options is 'run with'....

I'm not sure of the exact installation set-up as I haven't installed a dual-boot system in a long, long time.  There are lots of tutorials out there though.....
