There are a variety of protocols you could use. It would be easiest to connect each PC into your router where they will be provided DHCP onto the same subnet.

Usually you could just set up a Samba share on Mint and it will show up as a Windows shared folder if you navigate to it on the Windows PC (something like \\IPaddress).
