Not more, but not less.
Improved overall security.
Your main constraint isn't the operating system, but rather your fairly outdated hardware.

some believe that games run slower on Windows 10 than on Windows 7, and this issue might continue with SSDs.

"a large number of individuals" express numerous opinions without supporting proof.

I plan to upgrade to Windows 10. Right now I have a Core 2 Duo E7500, and I need to decide between a Core 2 Quad Q6600 or better. My motherboard doesn’t support i3 or i7 processors, so I should look into the options. Will upgrading to a quad-core processor really improve gaming performance? Also, can I expect a significant speed increase with a Q6600 or higher without overheating too much? I’ve heard many people say quad cores tend to overheat more than dual cores, which might not be ideal for games.

Do not invest further in that setup.
Keep your savings for a complete system upgrade.

An SSD compared to a regular drive won't improve FPS in games. It can only reduce loading times for programs and might slightly assist with RAM problems because the swap file will load faster. A complete platform upgrade is needed for better gaming performance. Running an old CPU and a slow graphics card is the main issue, not just using a solid state drive. The operating system version remains unchanged. What you're trying to do is like trying to get a 20-year-old horse to win a race by giving it a new saddle and washing it—it won't speed it up at all.

Core 2 Quad would help, along with switching to a GT 730 GDDR5. You can likely find used versions for around $100-150 that include a Core i5, which might be enough to justify the change if you're saving money instead of spending more. For systems that are even older, parts could cost as little as $100-150, but it's probably not worth it unless you're willing to invest in a full upgrade.

I'm not an adult, so I rely on my parents for PC components. I want to clarify that my PC will work with all CPUs except i3, i5, and i7. It should support all quad-core processors, including G, Pentium, AMD, and others. Should I choose the quad Q8600, G4560, or AMD A4 with R5 APU?

to achieve higher fps in games, you should choose between a processor with more cores or higher ghz. If the recommendation leans toward g4560, go with that. For more ghz, consider the g4600. If cores are prioritized, opt for the q8600 or an amd a6 with r5 apu.
