Any way, I am done with this case.
If you want to do a further trouble shoot, it is all yours.
But I think OP is already in the process of asking for refund.

A shame we could not do more for him.
We have failed.
Shame is on the BIOS maker which blocks this important feature of CPU.
I flashed such BIOS with mod BIOS in the past, but I cannot recommand such manoeuvre for others. If anything goes wrong, the laptop/motherboard will be hard bricked

No a we haven't the OP has accepted the fact that the product won't work as is. It's kind of like a dead animal...you wish you could have saved it, but dead is dead it is gone not due to ones attempts to prolong it.

Exactly.
We are very successful to leave no stones unturned (nichts unversucht lassen).
OP satisfied in our findings and did not have a negative impression on Zorin OS since he is fully understand his machine is incompatible with any Linux distros not just Zorin OS.
All because of SGX? Time to bring back the laptop.
Just a thought as APIC seemed to be throwing TSC errors in an earlier screenshot how about adding 'noapic' in the line beginning 'vmlinuz' after quietsplash?
