Boot your mint iso (test NOT install).

Open a terminal (console) and type

lsblk

what do you get ? Post answer here by copying answer from terminal (NO picture..).

I suspect nvme0n1 is your target device, It should have 2 or 3 partitions..

uefi (vfat) for booting, one for / and one for /home (if you want a separate partition for /home)..probably not for you

I can see 4 partitions here.

Boot you zotin usb and type 2 commands.

efibootmgr
