I'm planning to install Zorin OS 18, I have HP notebook 15 8th gen but its BIOS is locked to Raid Mode it can not be changed..will Zorin OS 18 succeed installing on this system??
Hi, welcome to Zorin OS!
My understanding is that BIOS should be set to AHCI, and not RAID. I know that other people fixed installation errors because of this particular setting.
If you are willing to try anyway, be sure to make a backup of your data on that drive first.
Advanced settings are hidden in this model, there's no AHCI Mode in BIOS.
Welcome to the Forum!
Could You maybe post some Pictures of Your BIOS?
Here are the BIOS pictures. Maybe I’m missing something, so please have a look and let me know if there’s anything I should change.
The Disc is already shown as Non-Raid.
Here, I would suggest to disable TPM. The last Point ''Restore Security settings to Factory Defaults'' could be an interesting Point if it would disable Secure Boot. but because it isn't clearly labeled, I would let it be.

Agree with that.
Also I'm wondering about the effect of "Intel Software Guard (SGX)" item, just above TPM on the "Security" page of BIOS.
Some discussion here, re Ubuntu 22.04 (Z17), but may still be valid: hard drive - SGX disabled by BIOS in Ubuntu 22.04 - Ask Ubuntu
