Hello all I had one question. I am a normal user of Linux Mint and Ubuntu. Both which will boot directly from start up in UEFI mode. Now that Im using Zorin for some reason it doesn't boot up in UEFI mode. I get a "No boot Manager." But I will change it from UEFI to Legacy Bios and it will boot from my HDD and ask which Zorin I would like to run. I prefer it to boot up without giving me the options of Recovery Mode and other options. Does anyone know hoe I can get rid of these steps or how to boot Zorin in UEFI mode which will solve these problems? Thank you for your time.

Sorry to disappoint but Zorin does not have UEFI boot capability - madvinegar, would it be possible to change the name of Zorin to Ubuntu to sort this out? Forgot where you posted that trick! :D

Hi,

UEFI is there to STOP other OSes being booted and that is why it needs to be switched to legacy mode. See nelow:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

If you are only using Zorin and no other OS and/or only want to show Zorin, see this about Grub:
