Error installing along side Windows 10 |

I chose to install Linux Lite 7.2 along side Windows 10. No errors showed during the install, but, when I booted the machine, I did not get a choice of which OS to boot. Instead, Linux Lite 7.2 came up. So, I took a look using the Disks app in LL and found Windows in Partition 2 using 412 GB formatted NTFS. I decided it wouldn't hurt to try and mount the partition. This is what I got:
Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/linuxlite/windows:
Wrong fs type
bad option
bad superblock on /dev/sda2
missing codepage or helper program or
other error (udisks-error-quark,0)
I have no idea what to do to try and get Windows back intact - if that's possible.
Please help if you can.

Live boot unable to launch chrome |

Hello
I have been using a Linux Lite 7.0 live boot DVD to check that everything seems to be working ok on my laptop prior to installation. Most things seem to be functioning ok but I cannot launch the internet browser. When I click the Chrome icon from the system tray nothing happens and when I try to open the support manual I get the following message:
"Failed to execute default web browser. input/output error"
After a quick search on my phone I managed to get it to open using the command line
google-chrome --no-sandbox
However I am reluctant to go ahead with the installation if this is going to be a persistent problem. Is this something that could be associated to the live boot settings? I should add that I have used the same live boot DVD to install Linux Lite on a different laptop and did not have this issue.
Results from inxi are pasted below. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you.
Matthew

Installing to Dual-Boot with Windows |

Hello
My mother has an old laptop that is painfully slow running Windows 10, so I have offered to install Linux Lite. It needs to be dual boot with Windows 10 as she has never used Linux before and it will take some time to get used to it.
I have defragmented the hard drive and have shrunk the C:\ partition in Windows to create an unpartitioned, unused, free space that is 256 GB in size. I have disabled secure boot and Windows fast startup.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am a novice at this. I need some advice regarding which options to select during installation as I have seen conflicting guidelines:
1. "Install Linux alongside Windows Boot Manager"
2. The Help manual Install Guide states "Select Something else from this screen if you wish to dual boot with Windows or edit existing partitions (or both)." It then goes on to state that a 500 MB EFI system partition should be created, but I am unsure whether I need to do this as the Windows boot manager efi partition already exists. If I do need to create it, I am guessing it should be taken from my 256 GB of free space? It then states to "Click on the free space partition and click the Change button. Select Ext4 journaling file system, place a tick in Format the partition and select / as the Mount point." I am ok with this but I am confused whether I need to give mount points to the existing NTFS partitions (all created by windows install) as there is a comment regarding NTFS drives. If so, what do I need to set these to? "NOTE: If you have any other NTFS drives, it is important to give these a mount point during the install. That way they will be easily accessible after the installation".
3. I have seen an instructional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhpu9TJmvAU, from 7:30 onwards) that suggests four new partitions need to be made from the 256 GB of free space. i) boot, ii) swap, iii) /home, iv) /root.
Please can someone explain to me which of the above 3 options I need to follow to make sure that Linux lite is installed alongside windows with the grub bootloader such that I can choose which of Linux Lite and Windows to start upon reboot.
I have taken pictures of the options screen and the existing partitioning and have pasted the Imgur BBCodes below. I have also pasted the results from Inxi to show the hardware. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Apple MacBook Air on 7.2 has strange wake from suspend |

I installed Linux Lite 7.2 on an Apple MacBook Air mid 2011 with 4GB RAM. I formatted drive and used the ZFS file system and note that the kernel is 6.8.0-48-generic. Not a dual-boot system; Linux Lite is only OS present on machine.
I used Power Manager to set the option When Laptop lid is closed: Suspend
The laptop boots fine, I can log in, and everything works. When I close the lid, it immediately turns off the screen and suspends.
After a delay, say a few minutes, when I open lid the machine wakes up. No lock screen or password is presented, but I see the desktop rendered correctly with clock in status bar showing time accurate as of moment of waking up. Mouse pointer moves fine, but clicking button on touchpad does nothing and keyboard is unresponsive. Clock does not advance and I see a static display of time of resume. If I leave it for ~60 seconds the mouse pointer disappears (rest of display, with frozen clock is unchanged; displayed time does not advance). Now if I click the touchpad the pointer returns and the clock immediately updates to display current time but does not revert to a running clock -- it's a static display of time, but the time is updated to moment of touchpad click. Still no ability to use mouse to manipulate icons/controls on the screen even though pointer moves fine, and keyboard continues to have no effects. The laptop will move mouse pointer, but nothing more.
Power button works fine and I can restart the machine if I hold it down for like 4 seconds.
Either Ctrl-F2 does nothing, or I don't know how to do that on this Mac keyboard.
I changed Power Manager option to Hibernate on lid close. When I close lid the screen turns off, and when I reopen the laptop it does not awaken and appears to be off. A single press of the power button will cause it to reboot.
I tried a couple of commands in the terminal.
systemctl suspend sends laptop to sleep, upon wake (keyboard press) I see the lock screen where I given the opportunity to present my password, and it comes back to full function and everything works.
systemctl hibernate goes to lock screen, but never goes to sleep. I can enter password and everything works fine, but again, it never goes in to hibernate state.
I get different behavior by closing lid, which causes Power Manager to initiate Suspend mode, than I do with systemctl suspend at the command line.
Any thoughts on how I can "fix" the closing lid / Power Manager path so that it will resume correctly?
It functions fine when I use terminal and systemctl suspend, but that's a bit tedious to do every time I want to put the laptop to sleep.
