Is it possible to install ZorinOS on just an HDD?
Asked by

I'm looking to try out ZorinOS, but I only have a hard drive available for installation. This is my first time using Linux, and I'm not sure how to go about it. Can someone advise if it's feasible to install ZorinOS this way?

You can install pretty much any operating system on any drive, including HDDs. Just keep in mind it will be slower compared to other types of drives. But hey, it will still work!

Yes, you can install ZorinOS directly on an HDD. It might not perform as quickly as it would on an SSD, so if you're used to that kind of speed, you might notice it being a bit sluggish.

Technically, it's possible to load the Zorin ISO into RAM to install it, but do you not have a USB stick? That would make things easier. Otherwise, you can certainly dual boot if you already have another OS installed!
