I recently purchased a slow computer from my mom... any suggestions?

You probably wouldn’t need anything here unless you’re looking for a specific purpose. Using it for something else feels unnecessary.
I can set up a Plex server or a NAS, but I want to explore more options first.
Keep it SSD-powered, organize the cables, and list it for sale—only if you don’t need to use it anymore.
The CPU has a 2869 CPU mark, and Plex didn't need 2000 for 1080p conversion. For transcoding, you should be okay. As a file server, it's sufficient.
