I'm just seeing this now. Like many commenters above, I moved from Windows to Mac. I didn't see anyone ask you what you want to do with this box. I have three Macs, and two are no longer upgradeable because they were made before 2013. They still run beautifully, doing everything I need them for. I bought the newer one because I needed a little more power to run heavier music software. There are many different aspects that make a computer efficient, but the number one technical progress has been Solid State Drives, SSD. Almost everything you'd want to do is limited to the speed of your drive. In the old days I built and repaired my Windows (or lLinux) boxes, but Apple makes that harder to the point where I let professional techs do such things with a warranty. When I wanted to add an SSD to the older Mac, I did that. The SSD died less than a year later and was replaced under warranty. It's fairly rare that they fail, as they have no moving parts, but it does happen.
I recently ran Parallels to help a friend solve his Windows issue, but when the free trial ended I removed it. I had bought it years ago and it does work amazingly well, but I dropped because I didn't need it.
Good luck with whatever you want to do, there are plenty of folks here who can help if you have other issues.
