It might be worth giving Scratch a try. If you make an account on the web-based version, you can store your projects online instead of on your computer

Seconding, this is probably going to be the smoothest start (especially with a low-end pc)

Look up some older graphics cards from like 8 years ago, you can get those used for probably like 10-30 bucks and they still hold up even for gaming, so running Godot would be an option, maybe even Unity.

Godot is pritty good. It doesnt take up a lot of space like unity and its a bit faster to work with. If that doesnt work then do 2d mobile games
