A fourteen year old PC would have come with Windows 7. You may have two things going on here. 1. The machine is too old to support the WiFi protocol. You could probably rectify this with a simple USB WiFi adapter. However... 2. The machine is having shutdown issues because it's old. Either a replaceable component is "going", such as the storage, RAM or GPU, or the motherboard itself is "going". Additionally, with its age you're soon going to run into a significant problem, as in Windows 10 reaching the end of its support, and your machine most assuredly does not support Windows 11. You could keep it going after that with a Linux distro, but you're likely still going to have problems with the WiFi because of its age, and if the machine is in fact "going", a Linux distro won't make any difference.
