As others have already said save yourself a significant headache and buy a new to you used laptop specifically for diagnostics that's Intel based. You can usually find an absolute steal on eBay for cheap if you search hard enough for specific models you're interested in that might have minor issues like scratches / dents or easily replaceable parts that are missing / bad like SSD or hard drives or ram. I got lucky myself and found an older but not super outdated Dell Rugged 7204 12" for only $150 shipped on eBay. All because the touchscreen has a minor UV coating failure that you can only notice in absolutely direct sunlight or see with the screen off. They're great though super tough and rugged obviously as the name advertises, the one I got converts into a thick tablet because the screen spins 180 inside the upper lid so you can use the stylus and on screen keyboard in tablet mode.
My model had an i5-4310U with 8gb RAM, 128gb SSD, touchscreen convertible to a tablet with built in stylus as well - all for only $150! I bought a charger for $15 separately. All of the I/O ports have locking covers that are water resistant (read: splash resistant) another cool feature is the keyboard is backlit (white only by default but, red/green/blue and a custom color can be enabled and set in BIOS settings as well)
