This machine is probably close to 15 years old at this point, but has served me rather well to this day. I have upgraded it twice over time and since I'm still running Windows 7 and only used it every couple of months with it just catching dust, it has started to develop a couple of hiccups.
How I'm wondering what might be the best place to start. Just wipe it and rebuild it as-is using Windows 10 or 11 (personally I like Windows 7 a lot better, but I get that it's not really an option anymore) or add some new hardware to make it better. In my experience there is often a "weakest link" in any config, a single piece of hardware, which, if replaced, will significantly boost overall performance.
I have included a screenshot from Speccy, maybe that helps? Thank you guys so much in advance.
