which Linux is the most "similar" to Windows ? Just being used for browser access to web.
Well ...  it's office PCs. Not upgraded because they were used to run out-dated software.

Software is now updated and running on new PCs (well, 2+ years old now) 

These old Windows 7 one kept on the network as spares, some connected to projectors/screens as presentation PCs or video conference hosts.

If there isn't a need to run apps and only a browser is needed, installing ChromeOS onto it might be a good way to revive them

Or just get Refurbished PC and use cos Windows license is OEM come with and able to update to windows 10 too.

Spec also not bad overall enough for data entry task only.

A valid option but windows 10 support is ending Oct 2025
so it will be good for 1 more year

yes, it will take more time for apps to slowly lose support for win10
but still, something to be aware of

Windows 11 can be hacked to work on older systems, but MS can decide to block it at anytime
