Welcome!

So, you haven't used said install yet, just that?

I would check the install medium (USB) and try again - that's odd.. Also maybe check the BIOS to see if the first boot option is correct (SSD/HDD). Possibly check the SHA hash from the downloaded .ISO here. You'll have to get a hash value from the downloaded file, then compare to what's on the site to verify the image was downloaded in-full; meaning no dropped packets, collisions, etc. that would cause a defective installer.

Also - how did you go about installing; did you shutdown or reboot Win when installing Zorin? Have had issues with multiple distros just rebooting instead of shutting down to install Zorin or others..

As well as @PlumpKibbles advice above, check your Installed RAM Memory. It may need to be re-seated.

If you "removed" Windows - how did you remove it?
Was Fast Boot enabled on Windows prior to its removal?

that error is usually associated with storage media but cna also be ram.
however it is stating that initramfs can't load the plymouth boot screen - if this was already installed there are some grub commands to repair, however since this is a 'fresh' usb it is likely the downloaded image or usb drive was corrupted.

re-download the zorin image, and try again, or test with another USB stick

@Aravisian

check your Installed RAM Memory

+1 - Might be some lightly dirty pins. When I did the VICA / SkillsUSA competition stuff all the way back in high school, one of the tests was diagnostics - they put a piece of tape over some pins on the RAM sticks and no hints! Tripped a lot of people up; that and blown caps..

@Deepu the best way to clean the RAM contacts (I've found) is with a pencil eraser - takes all that grease and grime off like wonders Or, some high % alcohol and Q-tips.... If your RAM isn't soldered - that's kinda new, new.. ish. Both my new ones have soldered RAM ..

I used to have a similar kind of issue which I had mentioned here:

Bootloop issue - Zorin lite

[Bootloop issue - Zorin lite] This is the issue I'm facing everytime I boot my device. My system falls into an endless loop and won't boot up. [Screenshot_20230911-144138] "How do I boot into my desktop?" When the sequence ^[[5~ starts printing I press Del button, the sequence ends with a ^[[3~ and then Zorin boots normally. If I miss the 1st process then it starts printing "dev/sda5: clean: / files: /". In this case pressing Del only won't work, so I have to press ctrl+alt…

In my case it was a key sticking which was causing the issue. If your issue starts like mine then it might be the reason.
