Linux Mint Install Guide and SSD Upgrade on Free Laptop

Hey everyone, in this video ill be showing you how you too can become a tech hoarder by rescuing defenseless computers from being thrown away. This guide is pretty straight forward, for me i wanted to showcase how to install linux in a pretty simple and straight forward way. I understand that my instructions aren't always the clearest so i hope this helps.
In this video we will cover:
1. How to upgrade SSD on old Laptop
2. How to install Linux Mint the Easy Way
3. How to recycle older laptops to prevent ewaste
This is an older Lenovo Yoga 2 in one device, I upgrade the Hard Drive to a Kingston SSD and installed Linux Mint on it. I was torn on which Linux distribution to chose, i chose linux mint because it would seem the most familiar to a windows user. but you can choose which ever distribution you would like, Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop!_OS, Arch, Manjaro, Gento, Debian ...etc there are alot of options.
My plan for this device is to use it as yet another home server and make tutorials. since many commenters have pointed out that you may be better off with a used laptop (or office pc) than buing a SBC like the raspberry pi 5.

P.S. Im working on a Markdown website to include written guides to the videos i make.
