Re the option to "do something else": If I choose that it presents me with the layout of disk partitions (uses SD notations) - I assume that if I Highlight/choose the 73.24GB unallocated location then Mint will install there. Is it possible that, somehow, the Windows 10 install is the culprit? I'm unsure what the 450MB partition is, although it would seem it has something to do with Windows 10 recovery/restore? The 24.41GB partition is where I keep backup copies of important documents, and the 73.24GB remaining is unused. The 100MB System Reserved was there on purchase and Windows 7 was located on C: (where Windows 10 now resides). My main question is - does anyone have any insight as to why Mint doesn't see my Windows 10 operating system? The screenshot below shows my disk layout. One of the options is to "do something else" (see comment below). What would you like to do?" The main option is to do a clean install which would wipe my disk, and thus Windows 10. However, when I choose to install it, it tells me "This computer currently has no detected operating system. Downloaded the 圆4 version of 17.2 Rafaela and it runs perfectly from a USB stick. Having recently managed (with considerable Lounge help!) to install Linux Mint on my XP(H) computer as dual boot, I thought I'd do the same on my main computer running Windows 10 圆4.
