This is the second time I tried installing Mint on my PC. First time the installer stalled and went nowhere for 40 minutes, second time I’m missing the first option for dual booting. My trust in Linux isn’t the highest right now.

Edit: I was able to get it working. I just shrunk my D: drive by 100GB, for some reason that made it work.

    Are you using a single drive for both operating systems or giving each their own drive? If it’s the former, then it looks like you’ll have to manually shrink the Windows partition and then create the necessary partitions for Mint.

        Separate drives is safer since Windows might overwrite the bootloader when it updates. If you can’t do separate drives, then you want the second option on your screen right now.
