I'm facing a problem trying to boot into Zorin OS after completing the installation. After everything loads and I reach the setup screen, I get an instruction to remove the installation medium and hit enter. I've done that, but it just takes me back to Windows each time. I tried not removing the USB, but it still boots into Windows. I have BitLocker disabled, and I've gone through the setup multiple times without success. I'm really looking for advice from someone more experienced to help me out here.

You should check your BIOS settings and adjust the boot priority. Make sure that your drive with Zorin OS is set as the first boot option.
Try entering the BIOS and turn off "fast boot," then enable the "Legacy OS" option. Sometimes, EFI settings interfere with booting Linux. You can also try pressing F8 when starting up to manually select the drive where you installed Linux.
I'll definitely give that a shot! Thanks for the tip!
I've been using UEFI with GPT partitioning without issues for a long time, so I wouldn't recommend going back to Legacy boot unless absolutely necessary. Just ensure your BIOS settings are correct.
