Check settings in BIOS.

Spam ESC and/orF10 during power on.

You don't need to boot into Windows to install Linux.

 

You need to access the BIOS and change boot order to point to USB/UEFI and NOT USB/Legacy.

 

You'd also do well to actually open the laptop up and replace the CMOS battery.

BIOS settings changing on their own makes me think it's dead.

>so i need the win10 usb to fix the issue.

No, you don't.

 

>but the win10 usb is going on 20 hours and only 33%.

You screwed something up in your live linux USB creation. Start over.

 

>and i deleted alot of windows folder items to try trick it.

So, NOT a win10 issue but a PEBKAC issue.

So, you can actually get into the live linux session?

 

Clicking on "Install Linux Mint" errors out?

Saying what, exactly?

 

If complaining about UEFI vs MBR, you need to access the BIOS and disable SecureBoot and point boot order to USB/UEFI with the live USB plugged in.

 

What is the exact model of the problem machine?
