I don’t know if this will work if you are just booted up using Live-USB disk unless you have managed to create a “persistent” data Live-USB disk.
Withou persistence data/files is not saved between reboots on our USB drive, so you might need to actually install LinuxMint onto your HD/EMMC partition. But anyway you can try it. If it doesn’t work maybe you can figure out how to create a persistent Live-USB. I do not know how to do that.
