Black screen after 'Try Zorin'

Hello,

Novice to linux here.

I have a problem installing Zorin on a Surface Pro 9. I understand the SP9's hardware might not mesh well with Zorin, but I don't have another PC to use.

I've seen a similar post here: Black screen of doom on Live Boot: Asus with Intel Iris XE GPU

I've attempted everything that the OP tried, including using safe graphics mode. I've verified the integrity of my ISO which is fine. After searching around, I'm lead to believe that the older kernel and my SP9's IGPU won't work together. As a test, I tried Ubuntu 22.04 which works fine. Really wanting to use Zorin however, any ideas?

Is it possible to get a newer kernel onto the live usb?

Thanks
