Got an old laptop from a friend but it had win10 on it which isn't really supported and was painfully slow

Downloaded and burnt an iso (with verify) of latest distro but laptop won't boot from it. It tries but console shows odd errors after we get the ubuntu loading screen

So I dug out an old distro (trusty tahir) and booted into that no problem at all and installed it. Sadly my old disc was 32 bit so tried to create a second boot disc this time from ubuntu

But same problem

Anyone come across this? Will find a USB stick and try burning and booting to that.

Leaving it on 32 bit old distro isn't really an option :-)
