...but it's only a temporary install into the Ramdisk the LIVE DVD creates, and it depends on how much RAM you have available to do so. Of course once you shutdown or reboot, since it's only installed into Dynamic RAM, it then disappears.
So, one can test various programs offered in Synaptic Program Manager, or easier Software Manager, try it out. You can then uninstall it while it's still LIVE, and install another program to test.
What works best is a LIVE USB flashdrive set up with Persistence, and that works like it was a drive disc and retains everything done while using the system and available next time you reboot from that USB flashdrive.
Most stable Mint Cinnamon right now is 18.3, both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
This is a 32 bit USB flashdrive already installed with Persistence capability.
This is a 64 bit USB flashdrive already installed with Persistence capability.
Only you know what bit version your CPU will support, but most now support 64 bit version OK.
One can make their own persistent use LIVE USB flashdrive install with Linux Mint, using the DVD, a flashdrive, and installing mkusb into the LIVE version's RAMdrive, but for a beginner it's easiest to have a friend do that first time, or just buy one already created that way.
Not sure which Windows 10 update did it, but I can't get the MS App store, the calculator, the photo viewer, or other MS Apps to open. There is a very brief time that it looks like the apps or the store are going to open but then they seem to just shut down - without any accompanying error message.
I tried resetting each app and the store. I tried troubleshooting each app and the store. I tried creating a new user account. I tried updating everything. I tried turning off my firewall temporarily.
No joy with anything so far. Any help would be appreciated.
