I had to figure this out the hard way because everywhere I asked the question I'd get told how I was wrong and it's good actually. So good luck finding anything helpful for your specific install. I will share with you some links that kinda got me there. I had to figure out most of the steps individually and piece them together from multiple sources.

I'm not sure sure how relevant those links will be as I was trying to do the same on bazzite and not zorin but hopefully they help. If you are able to install gnome disks (if you haven't already) there is a checkbox to do it for you but I forget where it is. I have a little document typed up on my PC at home that I can share with you as well when I get there later on the off chance that it is helpful. If you have questions, ask away I'm not sure I will be helpful but I'll do what I can.

FYI, linux seems to hate NTFS partitions and that may be a contributing factor here.
