So 7 years of usage means it’s 5th gen intel. I would upgrade the ssd to 128 or 256gb for less than $100 (probably $50), then that laptop would last you another 5 years.
And your win 8 license can give you free upgrade all the way to windows 11.
I am pretty sure the HD is the performance bottle neck.
If you are a bit handy, you can mention make and model, then i will search youtube for a hdd replacement. Pop the new ssd in, then download win 11 iso, put it in usb and then install windows 11.
Not that difficult but time consuming
