Acer not installing 5.6 - amigo - 10-14-2021
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

What type/model of Acer - 32g?
Legacy BIOS or UEFI is fine (either) but it has to be 64bit and not 32bit...
Re: Acer not installing 5.6 - amigo - 10-14-2021
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

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
