Not sure how realistic that is.

Ancient computers work just fine for that, if it has 4GB ram and an SSD he should be happy. Can you upgrade his? An SSD is like, $40 now. Windows 10 is free. Do a clean install and it would probably be fine. I guess that depends on how ancient. But I even did a Core2 Duo recently and it boots fast and has no problem with basic web stuff.
