I think before anyone can help you, they would need more information.  For example, when you say "struggles to run almost anything," can you provide some examples?  What happens when you launch a web browser and do a simple Google search?  What about launching MS Paint, or bringing up Windows settings?  Playing games?  Have you looked at Windows Reliability History (type "reliability" into start menu) or brought up task manager (with performance tab visible) to monitor the CPU's frequency while doing various things?
