I would suggest running it from a live disk or usb drive first to make sure it is what you want.
I sys op 10 Mint machines at my local community centre. They had badly corrupted Windows 7 on them so I installed Mint. The only problem I encountered was an older user wanted to know where the internet icon had gone. I simply renamed the Firefox icon INTERNET problem solved. I now have a robust system that defies the young "hackers" the opportunity to crash.
I am convinced that once used to it you will like.
