You may want to try installing Windows 10. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-long-can-you-use-windows-10-without-activation
Or install Linux. For old hardware, Linux works very well.
I would not suggest using Vista or XP for security risks.

Those operating systems are not supported anymore. Dell has the old drivers---HERE
But it is not safe to run that old model on the internet.
