This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU. but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

Hi, I was following instructions switching my laptop from windows to linux. I first downloaded the ISO for Mint Cinnamon 20.1 64-bit. I then installed Rufus followed instructions to place the ISO file on the USB. I put the USB into my HP 530 Notebook PC which has Vista on it to start the process. Everything looked great until this popped up (This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU...) I cant get out of this screen. I've tried esc, shift key, F keys nothing is working. I have researched on google and youtube and HP info to no avail. The processor on my laptop is Intel Core Duo T2400 @ 1.83 GHz, Memory 3.00 GB, System 32-bit. I can see that the Mint Cinnamon 20.1 64 bit is not compatible with the laptop 32 bit. I just cant get out of that screen. Is there a way out so I can get the right linux for this laptop. Thanks.
