see if it can run minecraft first, then we’ll talk /j

jokes aside, the only ideai have is to use it as a server

This is pretty iffy. I also have an old computer that I don't use and the only thought I have had with it is to use it as a server (ie, Minecraft LAN world running on it).

Remember doing that would require good internet and constant electricity to the computer
