If you don't have core isolation enabled, you can install VirtualBox( and it's extensions,,, if you haven’t?).

Then* look up reviews if you must, they're all just opinions until you find your own...

Boot some live usb and find out what you know. Core duo is common and ram is sufficient to run this

or this

Running live let's you test drive Linux without screwing with your windows install unless you tell it to. Ergo. Opening file manger as root and accessing Windows stuff.

I'd recommend something LxQt-based. Either of the following:

You can use Ventoy to put several 'live' distros onto one pendrive to test them out, all you do is to copy them to it, lets you compare, & saves pendrives.
