If it runs slow try these things first.
First and foremost always back up important pictures and files.
Then back up your back up. That way if you really fuck something up or your hard drive
is damaged you still have a copy of the important stuff.
Install CCleaner run cleaner

After doing this go to startup section and look at what programs start when your computer first boots up
While there disable even ccleaner and malwarebytes from starting. Be careful what you disable.
Then install Malwarebytes update and run

Whatever browser you are using make sure it is updated
and install ublock origin pop up blocker
Maybe try
Palemoon browser.

While you are at it unplug your modem and router and leave them for a few minutes
then plug up modem wait and then plug up router. Most people dont do this very often.
I would install SSD drive if you dont already have one. At least 250GB or more.
Samsung ssd's work well and include cloning software.
Once you start using SSD you will never go back.
Hope this helps.
Apart from the SSD and unless TS has some serious bloat, I don’t think your cleaning suggestions will add anything more than say 10%. Even a complete reinstall will not help much.
He ain’t going to run any new game unless it’s an indy. 4-5 years qualifies for a new complete package if he wants to play anything IMO.
Or get an upgraded console.
