Hi Clive,
I guess you mean Mint 20.2? You should do Mint upgrades this way, as
suggested by the Mint team: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3946, and then
update to Mint 20.1/20.2. Unless of course you're doing a fresh install :)

To answer your question 'no' the only Fluorescent or microwave is in the

the wifi transmitter or receiver?
