I haven't used windows in 20 years and apparently this software/hardware I need won't work on a Mac running Windows.
What's the cheapest yet reliable used Windows laptop I can run this on? Any brands you'd recommend? Any models to avoid?
Which of those versions of windows is going to be the most stable and hassle-free? Will running XP cause my car and house to be hacked? What's the oldest of those you'd personally run?
I'm taking like less than $150 cheap.
Thank you, nerds.

Probably a thinkpad. For price, if you're careful, you can find a good, cheap one available. Just do your research and keep the firmware updated.

Maybe booting my old MacBook Air in windows will work after all. I just remember reading people having trouble with it.
I got it to work with the Volkswagen software for a bit but now I'm not sure if I can remember how I booted it in windows.
Back in my day things just worked.

I'm not tech literate enough for that and would rather just get a thrift store level laptop that I know will work.

I routinely buy 4-5 year old laptops off refurb.io that come with windows preinstalled. They usually run under $200

Dell M4800. They're built on a thick
magnesium chassis, easy to upgrade, and replacement parts (keyboard, mouse 
pad, bezel, fans, ports, RAM, battery, etc) are $5-15/ea. They also come with great 
screens and are right 
in your price range.

It doesn't say that, it just says it won't run on MacOS. You can probably run it on a Windows VM or actually booting into Windows itself using Boot Camp, assuming it's an Intel Mac.
