Hi everyone, I have a Thinkpad T460S, I formatted Zorin (Ubuntu) and
installed Windows 10. But the ububtu entry remained in the bios... is it
possible to remove it? Thanks.

You have an UEFI, the successor of the BIOS.

In UEFI, Boot entries exist for operating systems.
You can go to the UEFI settings (sometimes called setup or similar) and
delete that entry.
You can also use a Linux distribution and use efibootmgr to delete it.

bios isn't exactly recent.
If you want to use a Linux distribution, what do you recommend???
clearly I will have to boot from USB and run the Efibootmgr command to
delete it? sorry but I'm not very practical...

UEFI, not BIOS.

The version doesn't matter, simply go to the setup and remove that boot
entries.

In Setup, select startup with arrow keys, then Boot (hit enter to go
into the sub menu), then select the entry and hit "delete" on the
keyboard.

like to eliminate the writing Ubuntu.. but it doesn't let me move the
arrows...
Then this is my first page of the Bios and then the page of the Startup
section... forgive me but I can't delete anything... where should I act
in the Startup section (which seems to be all right)??
or in the Boot section in F12???
thanks unfortunately I'm not very practical...

If all that fails you can still do it with efibootmgr.

delete them, NOT in the Boot menu for actually booting from these
devices.
Please got to the setup and take a photo.

If you see the ubuntu entry, press DEL. If that doesn't work try
backspace.
