I have an older PC and did not want to upgrade to Windows 10 first, but wanted to buy a laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed. Since I first had to buy a new rudder, FRITZ BOX, I can continue to use it with my laptop under the same conditions Contract that I have or could be a I have to enter into a new contract.
The router doesn't care which device connects to it…
It doesn't matter which device you connect to the router with…
Rudder = router
Sorry for the correction.
Even today, hardware that is not as up-to-date can be used effortlessly even with new hardware. The problem is not the hardware, but the person who uses it. Man is a creature of habit and likes to use things he knows. Therefore, he also shy away from changes or new ways such as where to find what.
Nowadays there's no reason to use Windows anymore. I have been using a Linux distribution (Linux Mint) for years that works great even on 32 bit systems. It is free (just write this text on my old box) has everything you need as a user and the graphical interface is much easier to use than under Windows or Windows 10. With this you can also configure the Fritzbox (browser)

Simply write to a USB stick (ISO) using unetbootin or burn to a DVD. And you already have a solution if you need to fix something or reinstall.
