If performance is slow, consider formatting your HDD and SSD and updating your drivers.

My computer's startup takes approximately 10 minutes, and VR games experience severe lagging despite my PC being VR-ready.

My computer skills are poor. How would you recommend improving them?

A prolonged startup time suggests the possibility of malware. Given that it was purchased used, has Windows been reinstalled recently? Updating drivers and performing recent malware/virus scans are recommended. Ensure Windows is fully updated.

It was purchased new, not used, and I have reset it numerous times. Currently, I am defragging it to assess if that improves performance.
