Hi and Welcome. Have you physically removed your notebook screen? Have you tried a different HDMI cable?

I have removed the primary display by cutting their wires :sweat_smile: so the computer still thinks it has the display but it doesn't and I will try other hdmi but I doubt that it will work as the boot screen appears only on primary display
I was searching for a way to install the os without need of boot

Boot... is essential as Boot means Initialization.
Do you mean grub?
You can boot without the grub menu...

If Zorin OS is first on the list, just wait a few seconds for it to autoselect.
If Zorin OS is second on the list, tap the down arrow arrow key to reach it and hit enter.
If Windows is First, you would hit the key once. If another Distro like Mint is first, you would hit twice (due to it, like Zorin OS, offering a recovery option below the normal boot option).
