Ok so I can be something of a techno div at times....today is one of those times!
I have downloaded Mint to a USB and want to run it as a live USB (I still need to run windows due to needing AutoCAD for my freelance job). However I can't seem to get it running and every time I try everything switches onto Windows 10 as usual.
I know I am making the simpliest mistake but not sure what it is, any ideas anyone?
ta muchly!

Re: running from live USB
Have you put the Mint iso on the USB thumb drive in the right way, for example by means of Unetbootin:

Hopefully yes. Just tried the link you gave me and still no luck on the reboot. I am going to keep trying though, it won't beat me dammit
