Can't click install zorin os

hello everyone, while i'm boot to the pendrive select "try or install zorin os" i can't click them

the laptop is asus T100TAM with 2gb RAM and 32gb storage
the laptop has windows 10 (corrupted)

anyone who can solve this problem, i will be very grateful
(i need to fix this because my windows 10 is corrupted)

Can you clarify what you mean by "cannot click them"? Is it because the mouse that is not working, the cursor does not work, the buttons are grayed out, ... ?

Try using the Tab key to navigate around the interface, and select with Enter.

When you have 32 bit architecture of your uefi and 64 bit processor, Zorin 17 is perhaps not suitable for you as it is only for 64 bit architectures.
It would be better for you when you choose a distribution that offers 32 bit as LMDE, MX Linux, Debian, AntiX...

You can take a look at this thread - it is also an Asus computer with 32bit/64 bit architecture.

Previously, I had reached the final point of the installation, but my laptop battery ran out, and when my laptop battery was charged and when I tried to install it again, I couldn't click "try or download zorin os" (I can click the language selection)

-mouse are working
-cursor are working
-button not grayed
-not freeze (it working normaly)

i couldn't using tab because they will select languague only

Welcome to the Forum!

What do You mean with ''corrupted''? Is the Installation broke? A Virus?

In common, I would suggest to use because of Your low RAM the Lite Desktop. Otherwise, You could get Performance Issues.

Some Questions:

  • Is Your System a 64bit System?
  • Is Your BIOS in UEFI or Legacy Mode?
  • Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS turned off?
  • Is Fast Start-Up in Windows turned off?
  • What Tool did You take to create the bootable USB Stick?

So, You stopped the Installation or it turned off? Maybe the Data on the Stick got broke. Did You tried to recreate the bootable USB Stick?

If your laptop ran out of juice right in the middle of installing the operating system... that could be a problem.

Was your W10 installation "corrupted" (please clarify what this means) before you tried any of this?

I suspect (Windows 10) it will be a Netbook edition (Windows Starter) as this is actually a 2-in-1 Tablet with separate keyboard and the fact that it only has 2 Gb RAM and is an eMMC with only 32 Gb of Storage. It may be problematical to put any GNU/Linux on this. Will do some delving.

Linux Installation on Asus T100TAM

Yes, Linux can be installed on an Asus T100TAM with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, but it requires careful selection of a lightweight distribution and some configuration to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Several users have successfully installed various Linux distributions on this device, including Debian, Ubuntu, and lightweight distributions like MX Linux, Linux Mint XFCE, and Void Linux.

For the Asus T100TAM, it is recommended to use a 32-bit version of the operating system, as the device has a 32-bit UEFI and an Intel Atom processor.

However, some users have also reported success with 64-bit versions, provided that the necessary boot files are included, such as the bootia32.efi file, which is required for booting 32-bit Linux on this device.

When installing Linux on the T100TAM, it is important to note that the device has limited resources, so using a lightweight desktop environment like LXQt or Xfce is advisable to improve performance.

Additionally, some users have found that setting up ZRam can help improve system responsiveness, although it does not significantly boost performance.

It is also worth noting that the T100TAM has a 32 GB eMMC storage, which is not replaceable, so it is essential to choose a distribution that is optimized for low-storage environments. Some users have recommended using an SD card for the operating system if the internal storage is insufficient.

In summary, while installing Linux on the Asus T100TAM with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage is possible, it requires careful planning and the use of a lightweight distribution to ensure a smooth experience.
