Create a 200mb /boot partition, fstype ext2.

Correct, you need to create another partition to enable boot

Why ext2?

You're booting the installer in UEFI mode, and your drive probably has a MBR partition which UEFI doesn't very much like. Reboot in legacy mode.

You can try make partition on Gparted live cd. About swap partition: you don't need it. Instead you can later create swapfile so you can expand or delete it if you need more disk space.

I actually used legacy, because when I tried to install it, I couldn't figure out how to disable SecureBoot, but I know it now.

I use the default windows partioning tool. I just don't see a reason why people use gparted when the computer's able to do it without an external program.

Well, then you were using GPT partition, which BIOS doesn't like. Have you been able to install it yet?

What is GPT partition? I don't use a third party partitioning software if it's something like that.

It's the type of partition you're drive is using. BIOS/legacy uses MBR while UEFI uses GPT. If your drive is using GPT and you boot in legacy mode, it won't be able to see your partition table and viceversa. Since mint is asking you to create a /boot/EFI partition (which MBR doesn't require), I assume it's using GPT. So, boot back in UEFI mode and all should be fine.

Also, I'm not even sure viceversa is an actual word in English.
