I should make one thing clear: I am no expert for Linux. I have the experience of the past months since I installed and used it, and not more than that what I did myself in that time. That leads me - and others following in those steps - to where I am, and not further.

So, for more specific questions I recommend to post them in detail and precision at one of the two main forums that there are in English and German, it is here where you can find much more competent help in Linux so-called "terminal's" syntax and commands (the "terminal" is the command line interface of Mint that you sooner or later will run into). In these forums people usually will give you the needed magical spells that you can then just paste and copy into your own terminal window. I cannot provide anyone with that kind of magic, since I have not mastered it myself.

Note and save these links, and keep them easily available in your browser:

International/English forum:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/

German forum:
http://www.linuxmintusers.de/index.p...7&action=forum

And once you have installed Mint on HD, you may consider some of the steps in this list, and the lists linked in this:

Mint is designed to be as save and reliable as possible. So if you are in doubt or do not understand one of the steps in these recomemndations list, then skip it and DO NOT DO it. Its no must, its just recommended, its just additional. Its not essential.
