On an old lappy, ime Linux is your best (freebie) bet... I personally like Mint because its lite and looks/ works as Windows but there are lots of options if that one doesn't floot your boat. Don't pay for a Windows build on a garage sale computer mate, it's a bad investment.
p.s. Linux Mint Mate = Main Page - Linux Mint
