Hi Mike,
I see you're trying to set up a dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Since you chose the "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows" option during installation, it likely installed Linux on the C partition that's already active. If you want to move Linux to the 120GB partition you left unused, you'll need to uninstall Linux first before reinstalling it. Your boot manager should let you manage partitions without affecting the C drive. Let me know if you need more details!

It either reduced the size of the windows partition to create a new one on the same storage or focused on the first available empty partition. Likely, it chose the unused space you had left. You can't run two operating systems on the same partition.

I used this tutorial to remove Ubuntu from the dual-boot setup, but it feels unusual since no Linux drive appears in the system management tool.

You finished setting up Mint. The system shows 120GB available, and once installed it appears blue with a healthy status on the main partition.
