Setting up Linux Mint on separate Windows boot partitions
Setting up Linux Mint on separate Windows boot partitions
You want to switch to Linux Mint on your PC, especially since you're using Brasero. Your 80GB HDD is clean, and you're considering using the Linux boot manager instead of the Windows one. It's worth noting that the Linux boot manager can replace Windows boot options. You should follow the steps for installing a Linux distribution via the boot manager, ensuring you have the right partition setup and compatibility.
The Linux boot manager has been separate from the Windows setup for over ten years, but you can safely remove the Windows drive during installation. This ensures each operating system runs independently on its own storage device, letting you pick the boot option in the BIOS.
I'm setting them up on individual drives, but if that's possible, I'll choose it.
