Ever since the YouTuber PewDiePie ditched Windows and installed Linux Mint on his PC, there has been a wave of new users wishing to try Linux Mint.

I have noticed a lot of users taking their first steps installing Linux Mint over on the Linux Mint Reddit channel and getting in to a bit of trouble, after installing Linux Mint alongside their Windows installations.

I wanted to offer some practical advice on the safest way to install Linux Mint if you rely heavily on Windows as your daily driver.
