Hello Linux Community,
I installed Zorin OS 17.1 on an Acer Aspire ES1-432-C2CZ laptop that I bought about 6 years ago. I used Zorin in Virtual Box on the same computer and it worked fine, but a bit slow, so I erased Windows for a faster experience. "No Bootable Device" with a magnifier glass appears when I switch on the computer. I re-installed it again; it's still not working. I followed tutorials from YouTube and the web. Going into the BIOS, I enabled F12 Boot Menu under the "Main" tab. It still didn't work. Most of the other tutorials show "UEFI" or "Legacy." That's not in my BIOS. One blogger said it was because the motherboard is older. Some grainy videos on YouTube showed people typing in a set of commands into the computer after pressing F2 or F12. Does anyone have a fix for "No Bootable Device" in this older laptop?
Thank you.

I am guessing this is a 2017 machine, in which case it may have windows secure boot in the bios/UEFI [normally under security settings] make sure this is disabled and try again
