I found a lot of tutorials on how to install Zorin after Windows is already installed. I'll install Zorin first since I haven't decided the Windows version yet. How do I partition the ssd?
Es wird empfohlen, Windows zuerst zu installieren, da der Windows-Bootmanager gerne den Grub-Bootloader bei der Installation überschreibt.

Windows should be installed first, because it is a control freak about the EFI partition.

I would recommend to install Windows first and then Zorin. This should offer a way less Trouble Experience.

It doesn't recognise my ssd when I choose to install alongside windows, only the hdd. I'm using a caddy if that matters
is the SSD picked up at all by gparted or disks if you go into the live mode? Also what connection is the caddy using and are both drives plugged into it or just the SSD?
Yes, I can see it in both gparted and disks, it also shows up if I try to create the partitions manually. The HDD is plugged in the SATA port, and the caddy with the SSD are plugged in the slimline SATA, where the dvd drive was
Also, if I boot it in UEFI mode it says to install alongside Windows Boot Manager instead of Windows 10
Then You should switch to UEFI.
But it still doesn't want to install in the SSD. Is it possible to configure the dual boot manually?
Ja, Sie müssten bei der Installation von Zorin, wenn Sie gefragt werden, wohin Zorin installiert werden soll, "etwas anderes" auswählen. Dadurch können Sie alles manuell konfigurieren.

Aber Sie hatten auch schon geschrieben, dass Sie nur noch Zorin auf dem Rechner haben möchten. Was ist denn Ihr Wunsch: Dualboot oder nur Zorin?

I thought Zorin would make the partition automatically, I shrank the partion and it's installed now
