Look into new OS and just replace everything completely

Any suggestions?

Yah give me a little time.

There's ways to get cheap full is.
8.1 is the way

does 8.1 still run older games? like from the 90s-early 2000s?

I can run diablo 2 just fine. There is some software it won't run but I don't see any games being a problem

How do you feel about prebuilt ones at say Best buy or walmart?

I have mixed emotions I think there are certain groups its okay for. But if your going to be a user that uses the computer a lot I would say build it because its going to give you familiarity with it if anything goes awry. Stock dealing with OS issues is a nightmare because more often than not the recovery is garbage.
If you use the computer an hour a week I would get stock but thats really only reason
