Acer not installing 5.6

(1/1)

amigo:
I followed the old, "if at first you don't succeed" and found something that worked.  I had originally moved USB CDROM to the top and it didn't load.  So I then moved ATAPI CDROM: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUE1N to the top and it loaded.  I'm not geek enuf to know what happened but it did work.  I got a chance to look at 5.6 and it looks good.  I'll try actually loading it at a later date.   I feel awkward that I couldn't explain the problem in such a way that gave others a lead but......  :023:

keep at it.....amigo

Sorry. The  old Acer Aspire 5250-BZ467 is a 64bit. Mfg date 2009.
Neither UEFI or Legacy show up int the BIOS.

The newer one is an Aspire 15, 64bit. Mfg 2018.In the BIOS of the newer one, is LEGACY

@amigo
What type/model of Acer - 32g?   
Legacy BIOS or UEFI is fine (either) but it has to be 64bit and not 32bit...

I burned a dvd and I tried the install on my old Acer (32g) and it loaded the first screen.But I can't get it that far on my newer Acer. It is a Legacy.From what I read I should be downloading the Legacy or the UEFI version.Ok, I'm 76 and probably missing it but I can't find a download that states Legacy or UEFI?Help.
I've been running Lite for lot's of years and this is the first time I'm lost.And I did move the USB/CDRom to the top position.Thanks for the help.blessings
