How many partitions do you have?
Is fast boot disabled?
Is secure boot disabled?

You should install Zorin on your Data drive (the partition shown on the far right - before you do anything I would backup your SSD that has Windows on it using Rescuezilla (https://rescuezilla.com/).
And if you have any data on D drive - the usual thing that Asus does - and fills up the D drive with Windows scheduled backups! So be sure to backup anything on D drive before you begin.
If you have less than 4 primary partitions then make 1 primary partition on D drive - you should make a logical partition for your Windows data first on D drive:

Then create a Primary Partition of 50 Gb where you should install the root system - formatted to Ext4 and marked as '/'.
Next create a Logical partition - inside of that start at the end of the partition to make a linux swap area for Zorin - it should be double the amount of physical ram you have in your notebook.
Lastly everything in front of swap area mark as '/home' and format to Ext4 FS (File System).
Then in Windows if your boot partition is NOT GPT and traditional MBR (Master Boot Record) install NeoSmart's EasyBCD - this will backup your MBR and will allow you to add an entry for Zorin.


first thanks for your reply,
second the instaliion never reach to the partion point it just stuck after I press contuine in the download update and third party software, too much time till it tells me that there is no responding do i force it to shut down or just wait
When you are asked where to put GRUB - be sure you place it at the Start of D: Drive - not sure what it will show up as in Zorin but if you can boot into it live, would be worth running GParted and select your Windows Drive and take a screenshot as it lays out partitions better than Windows with clear indication as to what is primary.
