I agree (sort of) and will simply reiterate that a 14 year-old computer is nothing short of ancient considering it's a laptop. I've had laptops that have died in about half of that time (not cheap ones either).
Frankly, my opinion is that the best course of action would be to do nothing until TurboTax 2025 is released and then just buy whichever version is desired and try to install and run the program on the Windows 10 laptop (also, see if it will update).
If it works, nothing more needs to be done. If not, look for a new machine (perhaps the Black Friday/Cyber Monday time frame) at that point. It really is kind of a no-brainer since @landr421 would have bought TurboTax anyway (and can always return it within 60 days if not satisfied).
