i never did maybe the store ive bought this had that installed but they gave me with windows 10 when i bought now idk what to do

Restart the installation from the pen drive, and choose to disable secure boot.

Write down the password you type in.  You'll need it once it reboots.

This is a one time thing.

Did you check the disable secure boot option?

I did some digging around for you, and it would seem that this happens more often with lenovo laptops.

Boot from the pen drive, choose try without installing.

 

When you see the desktop, open a terminal, and type this into it:

 

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub

And then reboot the machine

weird that it's complaining about sda1

Try to boot it without the pen drive now.

Your ssd is the correct device, if it was nvme, it would show up as nvme0nsomething

Hmm ... if i could somehow get commandline access to this machine, i could probably fix it for you.

You could boot it from the pen drive and install teamviewer.

Boot it from the pen drive, go to teamviewer.com and download the linux (deb) package.  Open the file, and it will install it for you.

Then run it.
