Linux Mint works great on old hardware. It doesn't track you, very very very small chance of getting a virus (almost nil), it doesn't force updates on you. There are of thousands of free programs that do as good, if not better, job than Windows.
I've converted over a dozen people here in the villages to Linux Mint and none have asked to go back.
The easiest way to convert is to download Linux MInt (I use 19) burn it to a thumb drive, put in a used drive that you don't need and load it with Linux. I then copy any old files you may need from the Windows drive. There are many YouTube videos the can show you how.
