Is there a simple answer to 'what to get a parent whose Win7 desktop will shortly reach end of life, as it can't be upgraded to Win10'? Win7 support finally ends in Jan.

Can't be upgraded to Win10? Minimum specs for W10 are the same as W7.
~£35 on a 256GB SSD and give it a go?

But yeah, there are plenty of cheap fast Dell and IBMs knocking about on ebay and refurb sites

I can't be bothered to recheck, but it's something pretty fundamental like CPU or chipset not being supported. Used some MS upgrade advisor tool.
