You don't....

This computer will not work with freeNAS

If you value your data start by reading this https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/

Your proposed build doesn't even come close to meeting the minimum specs for FreeNAS.

any other way or older version to support

We don't exactly maintain a catalog of competing software and its capabilities and requirements, but you might look at The Product Formerly Known as FreeNAS, i.e., NAS4Free. I understand its requirements are a bit lighter, at least if you don't use ZFS. But even with that, turning an old (very old) laptop into a NAS just isn't a good idea if you actually care about your data.

In your case i would install openmediavault or some Windows version and share your files.

Freenas on that hardware is not recommended.
