Get Windows 11, Windows 10 end of life soon. A bit of a leaning curve trying to find stuff. Some hardware may not be supported. Rare. My Bluetooth headphones are not 11 compatible.

Stick with Win 10 for now and just make sure whatever you buy can run 11 when the time comes. Win 11 has not gained traction as quickly as Microsoft had hoped yet and most people are sticking with 10 for now. It still has more than twice the market share of Win 11. I'm a Mac user, but I do the same thing with macOS, I usually stay one major release version behind until the OS is more "fully baked" and most of the kinks have been worked out.

I'm gonna keep an eye on what you end up doing about a refurbished laptop. I'm on the verge of replacing my 13 year old Toshiba. It's done everything I bot it to do. Lately, it stopped finding my router for internet connection. I've tried a few suggestions, but it just stopped a few days ago and won't go near a connection again. Like you, I don't need it for all the previous stuff anymore, it's really a kitchen table convenience along with morning coffee and cookies, reading email and headline news. Checking on the market open, etc.
