installing trisquel 12 on a old laptop failed

Hi,
I downloaded the 3 Isos of Trisquel 12 and wanted to install it on the laptop, which I don´t want to connect to the internet.
It was Windows 7 installed on it earlier.
Sonny Laptop.
all 3 isos gave the same message:
failed to load ldlinux.c32
after that I tried to install Triskel 11.0.l1 and it worked.
I was able to install it.
So what is the difference between Trisquel 12 and 11 ?
2.
How can I upgrade to Triskel 12 now?
what are the possibilities?
thanks
Gottfried
In the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T):
do-release-upgrade

Trisquel 11 is based on an older version of Ubuntu. You can read 12's announcement here:
https://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-120-ecne-release-announcement
thanks
If I don´t connect to the internet, which I want,
and do a:
do-release-upgrade
I need a medium to draw from there.
Can I use an Iso from which I have on a usb-stick?
Or what do I have to have on the usb-stick
so that it will draw from there?
maybe open an issue with the details on the hardware?

It sounds interesting to know what's going on there.
What do you mean by "open an issue"
Do you mean to write here on this forum?
If so then:
starting the laptop with Trisquel 11 it says:
x86/cpu VMX disabled by bios, but then Trisquel starts...
hardware name: SonnyCorporation VPCEB4M1E/VAIO,
Bios R1140Y8 10/06/2010
memory 3986 MiB
intel i3 CPU , M 380 , @2,53 GHz
x86 64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
is that enough?
if not, which command do I have to use in the terminal to get more info?
thanks

No, not on this forum.

That means that you can report your problem there: https://gitlab.trisquel.org/groups/trisquel/-/issues --- where developers work.
How did you record the ISO? With Startup Disk Creator?
I put it on my Ventoy usb-stick
that means I created a usb-stick with the programme Ventoy and there I have many Isos
which always work
Please, choose another USB stick with at least 4GB of free space and use the Startup Disk Creator.
I installed triskel 11 also with this ventoy usb-stick, and it worked.
interestingly with triskel 12 it did not work.
I can try according your piece of advice to choose another usb-stick with using startup disk creator.

I did that, but I got the same error

Hi Gottfried.
I wouldn't recommend using Ventoy – users have been complaining about a lot of errors recently. You could use “dd” with this command:
$ sudo dd if=trisquel_12.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
sdX is your USB
"dd" is very stable, unlike any graphics programme)
I have got triskel 12.0 amd64.iso
and it is on /dev/sdb this is the usb-stick
but the iso is in /dev/sdb1
I tried:
sudo dd if=triskel_12.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
sudo dd if=triskel_12.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
dd: failed to open: 'triskel_12.0_amd64': No such file or directory
Do you mean to open aramo and then try this command?
Do you mean to have the iso installed/prepared with usb-disk-creator or simply copied to the usb-stick?
I tried everything, always the same result.
