    I was hesitant to say anything at first but I am glad I did. Everyone so far has been wonderful and supportive.

    Kudos to you all for helping a stranger with no skill or tech savvy. I WILL try again.

              Good to hear! Let us know if you need any help with the install - some computers will try to fight the install, others are much more amenable to it. As long as you follow the instructions from the Linux Mint page, you should be fine.
