If you are still on Windows Vista, be aware that Microsoft is dropping all support for that system come April. You should find another operating system or another computer by then.
For replacements to Vista, consider a Linux "distro". These operating systems are built on the same base as OS/X and the Android systems. For full desktops, consider Mint if you like the a more Windows look or Ubuntu if you like a more OS/X look. I can install both distros or any other. Of special note are those distros that are for education use. Education distros of Linux have more users in the world than any other operating system, including Windows. I have both my grandchildren on old laptops that have a version of Edubuntu installed. These systems help lock down access, with some work by you to define just what, and include a huge suite of age appropriate education tools and games. You might consider this alternatve: buy a new computer or tablet for yourself and give your old computer to your grandkids with Edubuntu installed.
You can google any of the terms I have listed here for further info.
