it worked !!

Can you give me a brief idea what happened?

2nd question. If I can use an ethernet cable should I? I have one that is connected now and seems to be just as quick, as my router is near my PC.

Thank you again

Cannot find how to install the compatibility mode for Mint.. the computer is 7 years old so should I try an older version of mint?

Hi, I think the bios has never been touched, it's an older computer. I just tried to install on a usb but it's not working, I can't risk wiping windows if I won't have a proper system.

That is the frustrating part, I just dont know how to install the compatibility mode 'settings' To "install" the compatibility mode "settings" you would disable the graphics driver. However, you indicated you do not like the resolution available when you disable the graphics dri...

Hello all, When I run a live USB of Mint 20 on my older HP it runs and displays fine in compatibility mode.
