Trouble with Dual-booting (lemmy.world)

I have a windows work computer, a Dell Inspiron 27 7720 All-in-One. I am trying to set up a dual-boot system, but when I change the BIOS security settings to enable running Linux, then Windows won't run. When I re-enable it, It hangs at the grub prompt. Has anyone else run into this?

The BIOS is far more detailed than most machines I used in the past, so I'm not sure if there are specific settings that would work. I'm looking to install Zorin, which is based on Ubuntu. Would a different distro/bootloader have a better outcome?

What BIOS setting are you changing? Secure Boot?
