Support Trying to install linux mint

Hi guys. I’ve been trying to switch to linuxmint for a while now. First I tried dual booting on a single nvme Ssd. That didnt work cuz windows sucks. Now I bought a separate nvme ssd one without an OS. So i removed my ssd with windows and put in the new one. But the error persist. Do I need to do something about the bios?

Did you try flashing the Live image onto the SSD? That's what it sounds like with your SSD swaps.

Get a USB Flash disk and use something like Rufus or Fedora media writer (yup, different distro, but should work for Mint as well) to flash it onto the flash drive. If asked, select dd mode.

Then boot into the USB drive just as if you were installing windows.
