That computer is too old for minecraft.

He used to play it on this computer before :/

do older versions of the game run? if so then ig just stay there, if not then something happened regarding the drivers. double check everything in DeviceManager

In that case you were lucky it was working at all, doesn't change the fact it's old, you need a newer PC.

Newer versions of Minecraft have higher requirements.
