Comment on Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them

  Is there a way to check it after install before it is connected to the internet?

  I did use one of the mirrors on the Linux download page.

    It should be fine. If you’re truly worried, go here:

    ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/linuxmint.com/stable/

    And click the version of Linux Mint you downloaded - it’s probably 21.3 - and then download both sha256sum.txt and sha256sum.txt.gpg by right-clicking -> “save link as…” to download the files themselves.

    After that, verify the iso you had in your downloads folder by following the instructions here:

    …readthedocs.io/…/verify.html

    Again, as long as you downloaded from one of the mirrors linked on the Linux Mint download page, you should be absolutely fine. This step is a just-in-case, for your personal ease of mind. It will, however, need you to open cmd.exe and copy the code inside the green boxes into the terminal and press Enter. There’s a pictoral guide if you’re doing the verification on Windows still, right here:

    Let me know if you get stuck!

      Thanks. These are the instructions having a time with. I am going to take a break. I think I have just stared at it too long overthinking it!

        No problem, and again - if you experience any confusion during the process, just let me know! I also had to get help with installing Linux Mint myself when I first got started.
