My daughter has the same laptop (I bought it for her a long time ago). When she brought it with her when visiting me in Canada from Australia this summer, she asked me to look at it because Win10 wouldn't let her in and she needed her files and pics.

So, I booted a Fedora USB and backed up her files. When I asked her if she wanted me to install Fedora Workstation on it to continue using it, she said "Yes!" because "She loves this laptop and doesn't want to buy a new one."

Fedora runs beautifully fast on this system with 8GB of RAM and will probably last her a long time.

Beautiful! I also have one, running Fedora i3 Spin (which I had no idea was a thing until recently) and it's been great!
