Starting to get the kinks worked out and doing normal life stuff on new OS. Hopefully I'll tell microsoft to piss off one day.

Update on my keyboard issue: When the boot select screen comes up the Linux Mint is the first option, if I let it do its little countdown for 8 seconds and it boots into linux everything is fine. However, if I don't wait the 8 seconds and I just push enter to expedite things to boot faster then my keyboard does not work. I have tested this numerous times with the same results. I guess I am learning to be more patient now!!

Go into your BIOS during startup - usually f2 f10 tab escape or delete.

Look for something called boot order, make sure the linux partition is first, and consider deleting the other options, unless you need dual boot.

There will also be a setting in there for startup delay, you can probably reduce that to 1 second. Might be called "fast boot" "boot delay" or "boot selection delay" or some shit.

I still need the windows for now, hopefully one day I'll be comfortable enough to delete that shit though!! Thanks for the tips!!
