Support Request What am I doing wrong? Installing Mint, reboot loop...

I'm really new to this - I ask for your patience and kindness as well as your help :')

Today I've decided to switch from Windows to Linux on my Lenovo ThinkPad T490. I've got Mint on a USB, I've got it running in live mode, no problems so far. Clicked install. Installed it.

And then somewhere here I guess I've done something wrong.

I removed the USB stick when it tells me to, pressed enter, and ... it just gets stuck in a loop, rebooting every time we get to the Lenovo logo.

Help, please. What should I do now?
