Bodhi is way down on the Distrowatch list, do not confuse “light weight”, go with a more active distro. I would venture to guess that MX Linux, with XFCe, or Lubuntu would perform just as well.
One word, I have changed a couple of laptops, for friends, and with consent, with the owner the HDD was pulled and a small SSD was installed for Linux. They now have the HDD, to reinstall if so desired, and a very fast SSD to run Linux. Good Luck. Daniel.
