2 things you need to look for within the BIOS..
SecureBoot - This needs disabled as the PC won't boot off any other drive...
UEFI/Legacy - UEFI needs disabled or Legacy enabled as LL will not install in UEFI mode.
Something else, if you have booted to back into Windows10 - disable FastBoot/Fast Start Up, this hibernates the W10 OS locking the drive, LL can't write to it during install. Since you moved W10 to the SSD it may not be an issue.

There's not much info on you laptop and could be minimal type build... Perhaps not having the additional Legacy BIOS option.. (Look thoroughly)
Therefore a UEFI only..
Is Win10 64-bit or 32-bit?
From the Mint site looks like same issues continue https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=267691
I believe Mint has an UEFI installer option for 64-bit OS's - which is leading me to believe 32-bit UEFI
If its a 32-bit UEFI its a bit of a hybrid of sorts and not the "standard" - you can find some tips/tricks here:
