Thanks Axel this sounds good Developed in Austria, France, and Germany, Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility. Available in both 32 and 64 bit versions, Manjaro is suitable for newcomers as well as experienced Linux users. For newcomers, a user-friendly installer is provided, and the system itself is designed to work fully 'straight out of the box'. I have d/l the ISO and will try it out soon Should I copy the ISO to USB stick and do a complete new install, or does this ISO overwrite my existing mint ? |

Write the iso to an USB stick with the pendrive tool and then boot it.
I would let the install wipe out the complete disk, so you get a full fresh install.

Afair you have an M2 SSD dedicated for linux?
If it is formatted and occupied by W10 - yes!
- Unplug all other HDD and SSDs. -> boot manjaro from USB -> run gparted and delete all partitions of this M2 to have it empty.
Then install manjaro with wine and configure + test it
- after all this is finished you reconnect the other HDD/SSDs
Now you have a dual boot system
- you have to push the F11 (or F9) button tho choose the boot drive in bios when fireing your pc up. manjaro or windoze
I would not use grub for dual boot - W10 is very problematic with a grub dual boot and linux! My last W10 (beside manjaro) killed the whole system when it was updating...
W10 is very possesive and wants no other "gods" beside it...
So if you follow my advice
- W10 will not see manjaro and leave it alone
- manjaro will see all and you have full access to your "old" GPL!

You must install GEM (yes if you don't want to copy your GPL folder to drive_C you should connect the HDD first) First run "winecfg" in terminal and let it install the missing gecko + mono -> now unhide the view (show hidden files) in your home folder and find the folder /home/bernie/.wine/drive_c/ Go to drive_c and copy the GEMPackage_2.5.0.32.exe and run it - let make desktop shortcuts.  |

Bernie No need to go to winehq.org! I told you that manjaro has wine in the "software manager" so open it and install it. Just take the first version as in my pic (red = installed!)  |

Not meaning to jump in (but with the English installation  ) click 'start' (or whatever it is called) then begin to type 'add', then select add/remove software. When the software manager is first displayed, there is no visible search area. Just just start typing 'wine' & it will appear before your very eyes! That's probably as far as I can take you |
