Do you have any idea of what Linux is or experience with Linux??

As a senior citizen, I have a suggestion then. Why not set them up with
Linux? We run Linux on 13 of the 15 public access internet computers at
the local library without incident and without complaint. I've found that
folks not already indoctrinated seem to do better with Linux than MS.

That is an interesting idea.
When they know me better I may make that suggestion.

I suggested they install a bicycle rack so bicyclists don't have to
lock up to the benches outside.
