When it rebooted, the login seemed to work, then returned to the login screen again in a loop. I had to pull the power to stop things, then install from scratch. I'm running on that machine right now. No problems with it, though there are some minor differences e.g., USB's that are mounted show up the caja file manager that is the default, but no icon shows up on the screen. Note that mintupgrade needs to be manually installed i.e, you have to run something like sudo apt install mintupgrade in a command terminal.
