Did you try this during the boot?
I wanted to try Linux for the first time in my life with the Zorin OS 16 but it was problematic experience from the start.
I think I gave it enough troubleshooting time so maybe it is time to just give up and go back to Windows 11.
FrenchPress thanks for trying to help but I do not know what you are talking about!
You can press "e" key to get to the grub and edit the boot parameter as in direction. This is supposed to solve your graphics problem.
Thanks for everyone for trying to help but I do not think all this time in troubleshooting is worth it to just try Zorin so I need to end this now. I might come back again in the future when Zorin 17 or v18 when it is solid and easy to install just like Windows, smoothly and without any problems
Thanks again for your efforts and good night.
OK I will try one last time, just for you. So when I should press e?
I think @Aravisian can give you a better instruction than myself.
He is on the other thread right now.
In the Grub Menu, you may see an option listed at the bottom to tap the e key to enter the grub editor. Check that you see that there.
Tap e.
In the wall of text you see... Look for "quiet splash" or "ro quiet splash"
When you find it, arrow key to within the " marks and replace quiet splash with ro pnpacpi=off so that it looks like "ro pnpacpi=off" on your screen.
Back out of the Grub Editor and try booting normally.
It is quite stable, however that particular computer was designed and built specifically for a Tablet Edition Windows Operating System. There is not a lot anyone can do in such a situation.

Maybe the problem is sometimes Zorin have problem when installing with online internet and cannot install Zorin.
We focus particaly on one problem with many possibilites. We don't know what user trying alone. Many people trying deeping to searchingg a resolve the problem. We tried help focus our knowledge. Maybe older bios have this function and newer bios don't have that. Sometimes for some installation need deep research on internet to find correct question - like @337harvey sayed we are volunteers. Besides the user know what he have a laptop on a table and this is many type models with diffrents bios and gpu. You can also go to Discord channel Zorin. They are more people maybe there you can find a answear on your model laptop.

Sorry .. what is the Grub Menu?
When did I focus my frustration on the members of this forum??!!!
The grub menu is the menu you first see when booting up Zorin OS. On the LiveUSB, you will see "Try Zorin" and "Install Zorin"...
Once installed, the grub menu will list which operating systems you have and offer a selection of which to boot up

After installation if grub is not changed the grub menu standard after installation not showing - second are 0 and menu is hidden.

I understand people who changed from windows operating system and never touch a linux - we must be a patient and need more times for that people. I know someone could thinking you can a lost many hairs on a head. With people who out from windows to linux like a a child who takes his first steps. On forum we don't know who is on another side. I know someone from you are good specialist with many years working with linux. Please not judgement people another side a "keyboard" it could be a child or adult person.
