I connected my old PC to the internet using an Ethernet cable. It seemed to be struggling to boot, staying mostly idle at 7% and taking a long time to restart. I tried manually restarting it, but I wasn’t sure if that was the issue or something else.

Let it operate for a few hours. Updates are loading files that were already saved, so no internet required. Because it's using an HDD, performance might be very slow. It could work.

Would also probs be a good idea to force win 11 using rufus on it so they arent unsafe on the web. A cheap ssd will also like hilariously speed up the process. Good chance it will take days to complete with a hdd.

This has never occurred before; I had been using it until around October last year. The screen is now black regardless of mouse movement, and I’m unsure how to fix it.

You either wait for the installation to complete or use a Windows 11 USB burned with Rufus, skipping TPM restrictions by bypassing it. Then reinstall everything in a fresh partition of the same HDD after copying essential data. Once the new partition is ready, format the old one and extend the new one into it. Alternatively, consider replacing the HDD with an SSD, disconnecting the old drive, installing Windows 11 on the SSD with TPM bypass enabled, placing the HDD in a case, and backing up necessary data before switching to the SSD setup. Honestly, I’d opt for the SSD option for reliability and cost-effectiveness.

I question whether I’ll be able to locate those items, since we don’t even have a bank. I just used the keyboard and screen returned, but it keeps asking me to restart.

it depends on the situation, sometimes even with very fast NVMe SSDs Windows tends to wait its turn. at my job I use a Gen 4 PCIe NVMe drive, but for certain reasons it might take over 5 minutes to finish updating. i’m not sure why it takes so long.

Thanks, it seems the setup is likely DDR3 with an HDD, I'll just wait a bit longer.

It combines various factors, though the HDD is likely the main cause of the slowdown. If it runs at 5400 RPM, the issue might account for about 70% of the overall problem.
