I like Linux Mint and Debian and either can be installed from a live USB drive (which is how I install Debian on "ancient", 32-bit laptops). That would be a short term solution at least.
I don't want to mess with dual booting, at least not on this machine as it's not very reliable, but the live USB sounds like it's worth trying out. I don't want to mess with the OS or partitions.

It turns out it does supports 64 bit Win 7. Maybe it isn't that old? It hasn't aged well. It's someone else's old laptop from the closet that's always been problematic, they had to reinstall the os a few times before they got it running and it crashes constantly. They offered it when my old laptop died in the midst of the first lockdown. But hopefully I'll be able to replace it soon.
