Unable to install r/t eif failure

Installing Zorin OS
1

I am building a monster of a system, I have two instances of windows, Mint, Ubuntu, Debion. In trying to install Zorin and Fedora I get as far as selection the partition for Zorin and then it asks for an efi location, but the button for the next step is greyed out and I can go no further.
I do have a partition for the efi files on the same drive but not the same partition. It will not let me use the same partition, and it will not accept any windows boot partition nor any other Linux file.

Thanks for any help that I can get. Elias

Welcome to the Forum!

When You choose during the Installation the ''Something else'' Option. there You can set up the Partitions manually. There is the Option ''Device for boot loader installation''. There choose the Partition that You want.

Can You post a Screenshot from GParted with Your Partitions set up please? So, we can get an Overview.

Also: Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled? Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled? Is Your BIOS in UEFI or Legacy Mode? What Tool did You choose to create the Bootstick?
