Hope all the other comments and suggestions are helping! Installation is honestly the only “hard” step for Mint. Once you’re done with this, it should be smooth sailing - and if you ever need any help, just ask!

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.
