Otherwise not so much.

Fresh install of windows on your current laptop would be the simplest path forward. If the laptop dies in six months so what? Meanwhile you’ll have a functional system to do your taxes and process your photos and you can get on with the divorce mess.

Macs are fine, I personally hate their user interface, other people love it, but as usual you can get an equivalent windows laptop for about 3/4 the price of the Mac, and you can get a lower end windows laptop at half the price or less as Apple doesn’t really bother with that end of the market.
