Climb to the highest point you can find. Throw old computer. It will temporarily be very fast.
Short of replacing the CPU (if you can a compatible one on eBay that is), it's more cost effective if you get a new every level computer.

- Motherboard
- Processor (compatible with above Motherboard)
- RAM (PC4/DDR4 is the current spec, but some new laptops are still sold with PC3-L modules)
- New OS license / Serial Number (your Windows license is tied to the motherboard or your Microsoft Account depending on how you set things up) these days.
I've done many budget builds this way - you may be able to reuse your:
- Case
- Power Supply (assuming it has capacity to run the new CPU and components - newer components may be more energy efficient so you might be fine here)
- Optical Drive (CD-ROM/DVD/Blu-Ray)
- SSD (use this to reload your operating system)
- HDD (use any extra HDDs for data storage)
Edit: I wanted to mention - on the Power Supply (PSU) you would also need to check to make sure you have the appropriate connections for your new components. Since you already have a SSD in your computer you most likely have the correct (SATA) power adapters on the PSU, but you'd want to make sure you have the correct 20/24 pin motherboard connector, as well as the additional 4/6/8 pin connector that connects to the Motherboard (typically near the CPU), and additional power for your video card if you have an add-in video card.
It will only be as fast as it's slowest point. It's bottlenecked. You can use the SSD and start a new build or sell the SSD and buy a new computer. 10 years is a decent lifespan for a computer.

Thank you for your info! The old pc is quite a nice one when I bought it. It is HP IQ 500 smart touch all in one pc, now it is hard to find newer components to be compatible to it. I just found a cheap cpu that may work on it. I'm thinking to do this one more trial to upgrade cpu from Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 ghz, 667 MHz to intel core 2, duo 2.50 ghz, 800 MHz. Do you think it will give me some boost?
My PC is over 10 years old too. I'm still using the very first core i7 CPU that came out, i7-920. Booting off an SSD too, but I got 32 GB of RAM instead of 8GB. Aside from the latest games, everything else runs smooth and fast. I think RAM is your bottleneck and you're better off buying a new PC at this point.
If so you might be able to throw in a xeon 5675 and get 6 cores 12 threads for about 30 bucks.
