My laptop DELL PRECISION 3530 has 1 TB SSD. First I installed Windows 10 in 300 GB. and left the rest unallocated. I planned to install Mint Linux for the rest of the space. When I boot Mint Linux by a bootable USB and try to install it, it doesn't find unallocated space. What is wrong how to fix it? Please suggest me!

You can try to use gparted and have a look at the partition table. But this question is offtopic and maybe better suited for superuser :-) – Charlie Nov 08 '18 at 21:03

I found the actual issue. It is mainly BIOS setup for the latest model laptops comes with UEFI and secure boot options. I had to follow the following options:
- select UEFI enable it
- Secure boot disable it.
- QuickBoot/FastBoot disable it.
- Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) disable it.
- SATA has multiple options. RAIDR, AHCI, etc. Select AHCI mode.
Then boot the Linux infestation by DVD or USB. Well, the latest laptop comes without any CD/DVD ROM.
Now you should see the whole SSD. To verify it just lunch GParted
