There[SQ]s no software called "Linux Mint for Windows". Linux Mint is a Linux distribution, meaning it[SQ]s an entirely different operating system than Windows. You can[SQ]t run it *as* a Windows program like you might run a game or a word processor.

To use Linux Mint, you would need to :

*

Dual-boot:

Install Linux Mint alongside Windows. This allows you to choose which operating system to boot into each time you start your computer.
*

Virtual machine:

Install a virtual machine program on Windows (like VirtualBox or VMware). Then, install Linux Mint *inside* the virtual machine. This runs Linux Mint as a program within Windows, but it[SQ]s still a fully functional Linux system.


In short, you can[SQ]t get a "Linux Mint for Windows" application. You must choose between running Linux Mint as a separate operating system (dual-booting) or running it in a virtual machine environment on top of Windows.
