You can pick up old laptops from the XP era for a song, most can take 2 GIG of RAM, and that's plenty to bring them back to life with Linux. If you can use Windows, you can use Linux. For a 64 bit capable machine, you can get Opera browser with built-in VPN, no data limit. Use some public WIFI to do the upload with VPN turned on. Avira Antivirus free offers VPN with a 700MB/month limit. When you start to get itchy, it's a 'burner' laptop. Toss it in a pond somewhere if you must.
Back in 2001, Talula gave me an old Toshiba that was pretty much over the hill then. It runs now, like new, with Linux. Battery is shot, but
