Ancient Windows Laptop Advice.

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.

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

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.
