    Puppy Linux is made for old machines and generally just works. You can boot it up on a live USB and see what you think. Lots of flavours to choose from.

        in fact most people don’t even do a full HD install. They do a frugal install (which saves your workspace to your hard drive) and just boot off the USB. So you don’t even need to be concerned with a full install. So it’s risk free - you can’t muck anything up.

        And one more thing. It’s something you can experiment with on your own machine before you try it on your relatives machines because you won’t be altering anything about your Windows set ups.
