Ugh now we have the tail wagging the cat. I would not put an old PC and OS in front of students unless I could avoid it. A school may have access to computers already, preferred OSes/versions etc. At least I would check. It's not only support, ideally I would pick a rough OS version the kids are used to. And ideally they should be using an Avid education discount licensing and working on recent products.

For a small fee I'll fly to Sweden pick up Christoper's 2i2 and hand carry it to Australia...
