    What instructions are you following? Last time I used Rufus on Windows, it had a graphical interface with reasonable default settings and zero messing around on the command line. (I mean, I sometimes did once I was booted into Linux, but I was using distros where that’s not unexpected.)

      If I remember correctly it was the instructions linked on the download Linux Mint page. I can’t say with 100% certainty though, since I did look at other instructions from other sources.

        I wanted to add an additional reply thanking you again for the screenshots.

        These visuals helped put the worded instructions in context for me so I was successful in creating and installing the bootable drive.
