What is the error you are getting?
Which version of Windows are you trying to install?

Unless you provide complete details of the error nobody can help.
I doubt H410 supports W7/8

@Taurus has asked you about the error. Without an error message or code, we can not help you. It's like saying, "Problem with driving the car". Ok, it can be lots of things, dead battery, no gas, engine fault, flat tires, lost keys, car being stolen, etc. and each problem has a different solution but all of them don't allow you to drive the car.

I checked the motherboard tho I assume you mean G41 and not H41 as I couldn't find any H models other than H61. Mobo is old but I don't see issues with installing any OS, and even the manufacturer has Windows 10 drivers for it.
Either way, the motherboard has little to do with it, we need additional details like CPU, Disks (partition type etc), other hardware like USB devices, and most of all again, the error code. Keep in mind that the issue you are facing might be hardware-related and not your fault. If all the OSes you tried failed, either it's a hardware issue or you did one of the installation steps wrong which I doubt it. The error message will tell us more.

I would also suggest due to the hardware limitations, to try Windows LTSB (you can find many releases here) as it has the least memory and CPU demands than most recent OSes. If all you care is to watch on tv, I think that would be your best bet.

You can install W10 or 11, nothing else.

There are plenty of W10 builds here that will install, but the H41 bios settings can be tricky for first time users. Take the SSD or HD to your nearest hardware guy and ask them to install if you face any problem.

Make a bootable USB with the windows 10 build and try to install it yourself first. If you can't, then post the error message here and plenty of people will help you out.

Edit: I'm assuming the mb is H410

As for your kid:
buy a cheap android cell phone.
Far more efficient rather than using a PC that couldn't do anything with its 2GB of RAM

As for you:
buy a cheap laptop.
You don't need to install new OS since it comes with windows 11 Home original.

Try a version of Linux with a lightweight desktop like XFCE.

I would listen to Cyler and get a win10 LTSB
there is a few posted here, I wouldn't even try Win 11
if I were you.
