I am trying to install Linux Mint on my new PC. Install fail with this error :

I have created manually the EFI partition with gparted on my M2 ssd, formatting to FAT32 and setting the flag to esp and boot.

I deactivated Fast Boot, but I cannot deactivate Secure Boot

Let's start by getting a little information about your system. For context, is this single boot or dual boot with Windows?

The information I requested should have been in the first post. This isn't Twitter. Good luck.
