If your friend is using Mint then may be useful for helping you as both are based on Ubuntu. I would point you towards this pre-installation advice thread as a start point: Before you install
If you have bought a new PC, then maybe your very new hardware may not be fully supported by ZorinOS.
Best to create a ZorinOS installation USB (suggest using Rufus not Balena) and boot that to "Try Zorin" mode first, to see how ZorinOS works on your PC, before performing a full install.
