Ya. Tbh dude if it has got Windows Vista on it and is circa 2014 or before you might find it has only got 2gb or 3gb ram and if that is the case you are really going to struggle. Vista is massively outdated and the problem you have got is if you put another OS on it you are going to need more ram. If you look up the specs you'll probably find the motherboard supports 4gb ram max if you wanted to upgrade it but imho it isn't enough. Let's not talk about the processor (Celeron). If things work out you can get a copy of Windows 10 from here:

They give you the key immediately and you can download and create your own installation media on a dvd or stick. I would say a stick because installation is lightning fast but given the age of the laptop it is probably going to take 30 mins at least.
