You resource Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Perfect. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, Or to use a different bootloader, and does not install peculiar drivers. It works newly like any other application.

mint4win like Wubi keeps maximum of the files in one folder, and if you complete not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any different application.

Boot in to windows insert the LiveCD you've just created and you'll offered the way out of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you shall glucinium asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click set and thats it.

Once Linux Perfect is fully installed upon starting your PC you volition be given a verdict of which operating system you want to use Windows Or UNIX Mint

Also worth a look is the newly released Linux Perfect 8 however as mentioned above does not presently offer the mint4win feature
