If your PC was still working when XP support ended on 8th
April 2014, you may prefer to use one of the Live CD/DVD list of
Linux versions to see how you get on with it.
If you are happy using it then you can install Linux on your PC
from the running Live version.
Another excellent system, is the ReactOS download, based on previous versions
of Windows.
The open-source project started in 1996, as a Windows 95 clone,
which was continued in 1998 with the gradual addition of features
from later Windows versions.
As of November 2016 ReactOS is considered alpha software (i.e.
still in early development); although it is missing some features,
many Windows applications are already working with it (e.g. Adobe
Reader 6.0, OpenOffice etc).
