If you are looking for help I suggest you describe what you are trying to say with this statement:

Is there a reason when you installed Mint you chose an OEM installation? OEM is for vendors / sellers / manufactureres / IT groups and not the average everyday user.

Hello, simply follow a youtube tutorial on how to install linux having win 10, and it made me install it that way
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBRevhOlfN8) I think the explanation is wrong and I fell into the error

I did not view the video but you should be able to do a dual boot using these instructions from Linux Mint. Just pick the language of your choice.

Install Mint

I believe that if you go with the USB Live install again, just do the standard install along side Windows. I do not have a dual boot system so I can't help with that part. The Mint instructions look a tad different than mine, but, do not choose the erase disk option as that will wipe out your Windows install. You may need to choose Other and then select your old Mint partition as the place to do the install.

Hello

I have checked the video (althoug my knowledge of spanish is rather limited) and I'm surprised about his aproach.

After making free space, he created partitions for Linux using the W10 utility. For me this is unusual - I usually only make free space and let the LM installer create the partitions.

As far I could understand (?) the guy did not explain why he is making an OEM install. But if it is a laptop for personal use, the "Start LM" option should rather be used.

W.O.

And for my testing a Dell laptop with W10, LM20.1 and Manjaro booting UEFI

Yes that guy installs OEM but doesn't say why. I would not recommend that video in any case: it is installing on VM, that's is why no boot sequence is shown, no mention to boot mode,....

I have never did that OEM installation before but I would double-click on Preparar para la entrega al usuario... (Prepare for shipping) shortcut on desktop and reboot (see here).
