It wasn't after start pc push button shift to go menu Zorin. Your hard disk is empty. Show a size but on gparted nothing how much place taken installation and how much free. Don't seeing partition. This is like Zorin installed on pendrive.
The hard disk is the same or new?
If you changed in laptops nvme ssd some motherboards recognized some types but not all types hard disks. Propably the distribution don't recognized your hard disk. On bios you need AHCI and and off UEFI. I don't know to much from here this is lottery. Many advice but no solution step by step.
