Bert,

One thing we haven't been clear on, and might be relevant: are these
machines for personal use, or are they for a business?

If they're for a business, most of this question is pointless.  The
smart business decision is to ditch the old hardware and get new, along
with a current LTS release, because the support overhead for outdated
machines, as well as lost productivity, is greater than the cost of new
machines.

If they're for personal use, the question is more involved.
