Yes, it's a good idea.

She mentioned her PC was slow, and I suspected the CPU was the issue. Checking Task Manager showed the CPU always at 100%. Upgrading to a newer core i5 or i7 seemed possible, but used stock prices were similar to a 12th-gen model. Trying to buy used electronics didn’t work since she refused. I’m unsure whether to get a current-gen CPU with a new motherboard or stick with the same generation.
Consider a fresh setup. You could check with her about a laptop or a solid prebuilt option. I’m ready to take the risk if the system turns out to be incomplete. (Minimal power supply) (Probably an old hard drive.)
I’d like to know how much she’d be ready to invest in a new system. If she shares a price, I can post it here and others can assist in locating an option.
