How can I go about this, please be as specific as you can.

Welcome to the Linux Mint forum, DQuinn.

Are you asking us how to install Arch Linux? If not, please clarify your question because we don't provide support for Arch Linux on this forum.

No offence, DQuinn, believe me I have your best interest in mind when I point out that the mere fact that you came here to ask this question means that you are not ready for Arch.

Rather than 'pure' Arch, I suggest either Manjaro or EndeavourOS, preferably as a virtual machine using VirtualBox as the Virtual Machine Manager. Both run very well as virtual machine guests with Mint as the host. Both are rock solid, and either one would be a decent daily driver--but try them out as virtual machines frst. Arch is different.....

It's good to understand how distributions other than ubuntu-derived ones work.

Garuda is another to try
