>>23733630just ask chatgpt how use the windows terminal or "cmd" (command prompt) to create a bootable usb, using the "dd" command which is what we all use on linux to create bootable usb's
(i've looked it up)
You can use dd on window's CMD, (look it up for yourself).
for an old operating system and whilst being a total beginner I suggest you use an LTS since they precompile binaries for a large array of systems and may support your old system.
When people talk about hardware incompatibility with linux they're mostly talking about having a nvidia graphics card, if you see your system's architecture you most likely won't have any problems at all.
Choose Ubuntu or a bloatless flavor like Lubuntu or similiar if you want go also play steam on it.
This has been a beginner guide, for more intermediate or advanced advice use google/chatgpt and always remember to double check.
And btw you'd want to checksum your ISO to make sure it wasn't tampered with.
