"As ROCKNROLL said \"I think the best setup is to just dual boot. 1 OS for Windows, 1 for Linux.\" \n \nWell folks I have done and completed just that..........installed Linux Mint 18 Sarah 64bit Cinnamon alongside my Windows 10 game PC.\nHowever I did decide to follow the easy instructions/guidelines as listed above in my initial post.\n \nMy PC is based on a Gigabyte BIOS/UEFI MOB with a AMD A88XFCH CPU, 16GB of RAM and MSI AMD Radeon R7 370 GPU with 4GB of RAM - built last May 2016. MBO production date of Dec 2015\n \nIn my case I needed to make some space on my small 128GB SSD HDD as there was not much space left as I had about 69GB of Steam Games sitting there, so I needed to move them. This was an operation that I have never performed before however following Steam's instructions, 2 cups of coffee and about 45 minutes of \"I hope I've done this correctly\" feeling, I crossed my fingers and logged into my Steam account to perform the update and verify my cache profiles and....Yahoo.............all OK. Tested one of my driving games just to make sure.......all OK............a win for me but I am as they say \"waiting for the other foot to drop.\".\n \nNext shrink my Drive C partition by 25GB, disable the \"Fast Boot\" in the BIOS and re boot the box with my USB Flash drive plugged in. press the old F12 function key, up pops the complete boot menu including listing my USB Flash drive containing my USB installed Mint OS.\n \nOnce the Mint desktop had loaded I proceeded to launch the icon titled \"install Linux Mint\". This process commenced at 14.37 hours and was completed asking me to restart at 14.45 hours.That's what I call a quick install.............assuming it worked. Well yes it did I rebooted, selected F12 and both Linux Mint OS and Windows OS were listed, I proceeded to test/run Mint 18, shut it down. Cold restart to test/run my Windows 10 OS which I ma happy to say worked as it should. I was also connected to the net and several updates also took place.\n \nSo all's well that ends well.................well so far that is, next I will install Steam OS and a game or two to test my F10 wireless gamepad.\n \nSome of you may remember my last effort some 18 months ago when I ran Win 7, win XP Pro and Ubuntu 14.01 LTS side by side which if you remember was a much more complicated process and time consuming although eventually all went well. That time I used \"Easy BCD\" boot loader and I have only just 3-4 months ago re built that PC as a Ubuntu 14.04 stand-a-lone. This PC is now on loan to a Uni student that had a broken laptop that could not be repaired or replaced and that box is being used daily and still running well. Interesting that the user normally uses a Mac............go figure, she loves Ubuntu.\n \nHope the above helps someone. "
