@faisalkhan786hi, Thanks for the feedback.
Yes updating the BIOS would be recommended & i see many tutorials (also suggestions from other helpers above).
This update can also be done with the help of "HP Assistant"
Seen Here: HP Assistant
Here are two links with advice on Bios updating, including via flash.
Here: BIOS recovery/update, via software & flashing
^^^ This maybe covered in the home page as well.
The second link is the home page for your pc with all the info/updates/trouble shooting with tutorials included.

Ok a couple of questions:
Did Zorin to dual boot?
How did you configure the bootable drive?
Did you use MBR or GPT ?
What did you format it to, FAT32 or NTFS?
Trying in "Legacy Mode"
Open into BIOS, goto the "sys config" TAB.
And enable "legacy".(this may default secure boot to disabled, leave it as disabled if it defaults it).
Save the settings & Exit.
Then set your PC to boot from the usb & try installing Zorin OS.
Install With Nvidia, "Erase disk" & install 3rd party.
NOTE:
UEFI is referred ( I'm wondering if it's the creation part of the bootable stick, or even an intermittent issue with that usb stick or the usb port !!)
There are many things that can be interfering with the installation as mentioned in other post's Above.
Keep us informed.
I was able to solve the problem using the System Diagnostic features (ESC + F2) during system initialization. from this link when bios is locked

Ok so give me some time, I will buy a new pen drive then I will try again.
I will answer all of the above questions at once when I receive my pen drive and try all of the steps suggested.
Also, I will try going back to windows 10 then try updating bios.
Download Zorin iso file again
This time for a smartphone - with the ''wget -c'' command on Zorin Linux
Copy the new iso file from the smartphone to the flash drive with the VENTOY program.
and the launch went smoothly.
