You can restore your BIOS/Setup to defaults. There should be a setting for that. If you have trouble getting to the BIOS/Setup, you can remove the hard drive, and it should boot directly to it.
I don't know if you made all of your changes at once, but yes, it is better to make one change at a time. If you can get the laptop to disable Secure Boot and to use Legacy Boot, you should be able to install Linux Lite. Otherwise, if it's a look you didn't like about Linux Mint, you could consider their XFCE edition instead of the standard Cinnamon and MATE editions.
