I have an old hp pavilion dv6 and I installed windows 7. Then i tried installing Ubuntu 24.04 and the USB wouldn’t boot, it just showed “GRUB” in the top left of the screen. I tried with another USB and the same issue emerged. Is this a BIOS issue?

It might be that , since it used to work with W7, that UEFI is not implemented (or at least not default).
If that is the case, try to install Ubuntu on your drive using rufus or ventoy. Iirc, at least one of them has a support for legacy booting.
Then comes the hard part : I’m not sure that GRUB will install itself in legacy mode. You have to try to know…
