I plan to do that. But my grandpa goes into ragemode when something doesn't work as it used to, and my grandma fully relies on buttons being where they always are and where, as she's nearly blind. It's gonna take a lot of theming to support that.

Very true, though with windows automatically updating to new versions and forcing upgrades, IMO the time to do it is when they would otherwise be forced to make a full version change anyway, as the differences between 10 and 11, are probably more than a windows 10 themed linux.

Sounds like a job for KDE Plasma.

And a lot of time customizing

Or just use Mint's cinnamon desktop which is already pretty close to the Windows layout
