I do not understand this question.

Is there a reason you cannot install Linux ? Linux can be installed from a USB and should work on any system running windows 10.

If Linux is too heavy for your system, there is always NetBSD. I have NetBSD on an AMD 300MHz (= PII) with 512 MB memory and it runs fine.

I got it for nostalgia, the physical design of the laptop even though it's a thique brick
