Give Linux Mint a try.

Listen to what Snag is saying. Stop trying to push Linux on him;
especially his wife for cripes sake. If he can improve performance on
his present hardware, try to help a little. I don't like Penguins with
big heads. That's my rulin'.

Got no real Linux experience but when my Vista computer went south a few
years ago my son could not fix it with even a wipe and Vista reinstall
but got it working with Linux. This was on his either net at his home
but we could not get the wifi hooked up to in my home. I need to know
computers for my consulting work but don't want to spend all my time
working on computers. Bad enough dealing with software problems that
have to be worked on.

When things slow down, I always up grade memory. Hardest I did on TRS80
upgrading from 16k to 64k where some diodes had to be snipped.
Now you can buy 4gigs for about the same price and just snap them in.

My Vista was maxed out and I ended up tossing it.
