Use Windows 11 or, if you really want to hold on to it, Windows 10, on your main PC.

i want to know which version this is

From the logo on the start button, it looks like LXDE

If you choose not to stay with Windows. a common version of Linux for people switching for the first time from windows is Linux Mint which is designed to resemble Windows.

I'd say welcome to the forum but I'm still new myself

I must admit I love Windows 7 also. The issue with it not, it's unsupported beyond payed updates for cooperate systems now. You will likely be okay using Windows 7 providing you are careful, but the risk of using it growing daily as new exploits are found. id advise just sticking with windows 10 if you don't like 11. I second bobsleigh suggestion in trying Linux Mint, I used Linux Mint for years

My old MS-Net is unable to install XP without error, I thinks I'll install Debian and Cinnamon (his Pentium 4 1.4 or 1.5 GHz don't support SSE3 and x86_64...).

My E-System may be compatible with 10, but is limited to 1 or 2 GB of RAM I can't install Windows 11 (Pentium 4 515)

My Packard Bell iMedia is unable to install any Windows from CD or USB. You need to launch install like update — but just update will fail — and use a "Personalized install" in another partition and hoping for the success of the install. He's incompatible with 11, obviously (Celeron G1620)

I've an old Jumper tablet PC but I don't know if 11 will be compatible with it ? (Atom x5-Z8350)

My main, a Lenovo laptop, have already 11 in the Nickel branch (Ryzen 5 4500U)

Pentium 4 system unable to install Windows XP? This sounds like a hardware problem. I'm not sure that Linux will install (and run stable) anymore than Windows XP will.
