Could you please share a few more details?
  1. Full Specs – Specifically, the amount of RAM and storage (HDD/SSD).
  2. Usage Needs – What do you mainly want to use the laptop for? (e.g., web browsing, office work, media consumption, light gaming, etc.)

With this information, I can suggest the most suitable OS that will give you the best performance.

Without that information you may want to check out linux. It has many flavors. I choose linux mint. Very windows like.
Older i3 processor with little RAM? Maybe look for the XFCE version.

Youll need an empty USB drive as well as a small windows program called rufus to burn it.

What is the RAM and hard disk size?
