Hi, I don't see your image , but I currently dual drive dual boot win 11 and Zorin 17 with secure boot and TPM on. You will have to learn about MOK utilities if you wish to do so. You can also disable secure boot in the bios and avoid MOK .

What exactly is MOK in Linux for?

Hi Winget1,

Thanks for your response.

I have attached my image.

Ok so the UEFI part is fine the secure boot is tripping it up.

Thanks

When I had Win11 and 16.3 dual-booted - I had to install the package shim extra to get it working. . One thing to note, Nvidia driver updates require an extra step with mokutil..

If booting Zorin for installation you may have to disable secure boot first. You can enable it later , but you would have to use MOK for any proprietary driver installation. MOK enables signed shim to satisfy Windows security.

Gday @wardh ,Welcome to the community!

Firstly yes Zorin OS is secure boot compatible.
Just to make things clear.

To me it looks like you need to disable fast startup in window's OS.
