How to find Secure Boot?

Good afternoon everyone. I decided today to install on a laptop ACER Aspire 4220, Linux Mint Xfce x64.
Here are the system specifications:

• Mobile AMD Sempron processor 3600+ (2.0 GHz, 256 KB L2 Cache)
• NVIDIA GeForce 7000m 384 MB
• CPU 1 GB DDR2
• 80 GB HDD

I decided to install Linux Mint Xfce x64 20.2. But there was a problem. Right on the choice of language, everything freezes. The mouse and touchpad are not responsive, neither is the keyboard. When I searched for answers, they said that it's better to turn off Secure Boot. It is said to be in the Boot section. They say that in the Security section, you need to give the Set Supervisor Password password. I gave, but Secure Boot didn't show up. I did not understand what to do in this situation?
The laptop is weak. It was running Windows XP. She is still standing.

@Drno

this processor does not have secure boot
try mint on ubuntu version 14 or 16 and version x32, 64 in my opinion is not supported by this processor

they write here that the problem is in the requirement to support PAE, in the 'new' versions of the linux kernel (we are talking about ubuntu 16.04! here they write that the latest non-pae version was 12) but if you find / assemble the kernel without this support, then why not,
I’m afraid it probably won’t be convenient (and in addition, there will be no support for 4GB + RAM).
on the other hand, it was this processor that already had 64bit support, wherever you google the specification, they write that it works, moreover, it seems to me that I ran winxp 64bit on this processor, but this is no longer accurate (I remember buying 8GB of RAM for the task and rearranging the OS under it)
but the kernel to work with this processor and in 64-bit mode will also have to be compiled
