    I was trying to use Virtualbox, but I think I need to enable VTX? on my HP. So... last night I went a different route and installed Zorin 15.2 (duel boot) on an old Asus with a USB. It was so less complicated. I think I will do this with my HP too.

    I feel like I need to wear a "Dunce cap" and sit in the corner. Several attempts at Zorin 15.2 Education install with Virtualbox have failed. I'm starting at square one and using the Linux tutorial. Hopefully I'll get it right this time

    Being a newbie, I need to ask... when you say "erase my entire Disk" are you referring to the USB or my laptop? Can I save the exsisting files I have on my laptop now?
