installing an older version was created by johns00056
I am putting together a complete,new, backup computer for my machine. (after a lightning storm took out my previous computer.)
I downloaded Linux-2.7.14 wheezy.iso and used rufus.ie to make a usb image.
The new computer won't go past the boot screen. I fiddled around with the boot order etc but still no go.
I downloaded the latest version Debian 12 bookworm preempt-rt iso, made a usb image, and it starts right up to the install screen.
Is there something I need to do to make the older version start? I don't want to upgrade to the current version.because I would have to change a lot of things in my configuration.
I am running my previous backup computer currently. I suppose that I could clone the hard drive , or something like that.

You can just try loading the existing configuration files onto the Bookworm setup. It ought to just work (I spent a lot of effort on the automatic conversion scripts)
If it doesn't work you are no worse off (if you keep a backup of the LinuxCNC folder)

You have to disable "secure boot: and UEFI in BIOS for it to work, UEFI is usually disabled by choosing Legacy mode in BIOS for boot devices/order.
