After clicking on try or install zorin (safe graphics), I landed on zorin desktop where i clicked install zorin and since then the keyboard is not working. I was unable to type location, etc. Right now, i am on this page and not able to tyoe anything.
Did you try the Live USB first to see if things worked before you went for the full install? You can also just try to plug another keyboard if you have one available, or see if there's some indication of a "on-screen keyboard" meant for accessibility. I'm not sure if this would show up at this stage but is worth a try.
That worked for now. But after installation, the on board keyboard still doesnt work and the wifi option is also not showing in the settings page. So i cant update drivers either. I cant reinstall xserver-xorg-input-all.
What do i do?
Run this command and share output-
lshw -C network
try connecting wired connection/ethernet. then run
sudo apt full-upgrade
If keyboard still doesnt work, run
sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-all
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all
Still not working
Not working.
I think there was some error while installation(i was very confused while selecting partition part of installation). How to check if there are more errors caused. i am new to linux but i think these information might help find the root of the problem.
Keyboard and wifi works inside bios menu.
lshw -c network

I think you might want to try the Live USB first. That is, when you plug the USB with the ZorinOS iso, selec the "Try ZorinOS" option instead of installing. This will boot to ZorinOS directly running from within the USB and you can test if things work out there. If you don't have any issues then it's likely a faulty install and you can just try that again.
Also, I notice that ethernet is working with a driver - do you have an ethernet cable in case further troubleshooting is needed with the Wifi Driver?
But i have already installed it and removed windows.
I have connected my phone via usb cable and turned on usb internet tethering which is working well but i want to fix my wireless wifi problem and the keyboard problem.
Please help me. I have no idea what is going on.
Can you please list the Notebook Make and Model?

I am sorry but I cant understand solutions they're talking about. I am new to linux.
Can you summarize the steps of solution or make it understandable for a newbie like me.
This is a very unusual situation that even a ten-year veteran of Linux would balk at.
There are steps outlined to install with the later kernel... But since you have already installed Zorin OS, we may be able to skip that bit.
Do you have means of connecting to the net (ethernet or hotspot)?
We should see if we can get your hardware working first and once your keyboard is working, then try getting your wifi working.

yes, i have internet access.
Add this repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-generic-6.2
Once the kernel is installed, you must reboot to boot into the later kernel.
Once you reach the desktop, open terminal and run
uname -a
to check that you are on the 6.2 kernel and not the 5.15 kernel.
sudo apt install linux-generic-6.2
