Hello Cathy B,
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
Given the age of your desktop and the issues you're experiencing, it might be worth considering a few options:
1. Upgrade Components:
Replacing the hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) and adding more RAM can significantly improve performance. This is a cost-effective solution if the rest of your hardware is still in good condition.
2. New System:
If your desktop is struggling with basic tasks and you have pages of fault buckets and application hangs, it might be more practical to invest in a new system. This will ensure compatibility with the latest software and provide a smoother user experience.
I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
