I have an old HP Pavilion P6000 series (I currently do not know the model number for the specific PC) desktop computer and we've had it for a long time. Since the hardware is possibly outdated that worked with Windows 7 (It has Windows 10 installed), I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade most of the parts on the computer including the motherboard, CPU, power supply, etc. And what do I lose when upgrading?

If not, would that mean that the computer is too old to be upgraded?
 
In all honesty, upgrading a prebuilt like that after all these years would be a moot cause since the amount spent would equate to you investing in a new build from the ground up, albeit with newer/concurrent hardware and possible a similar form factor with better airflow.

If the OS is yet running on the prebuilt, you could use CPU-Z and pull up info for the CPU, motherboard, ram, GPU and probably give us a list of things you want to tax the system with. We could also use info asked of from this thread;
and the community can chime in with suggestions and probable builds.

Right, I can try to do that. But the thing is that we don't know if the computer is infected with a virus (I haven't used it since August 2021 until March 2023) because as I was exploring the OS, I got a message that a virus was detected. It was even slow too.
