Yesterday, I wasted so much time converting files. This morning I wanted to start fresh and figure out what was wrong, before seeing a technician.
So I'll list in here some search results:
And here is a great article which I will read and take notes:

Tips to improve performance in Windows
Steps I took: I checked my windows 10 and it was up to date. Then as usual I am offered to switch to windows 11. I searched once again about that and what would be different. I love PCWorld (was it used to be PC Magazine?) and I trust their opinion
5 reasons to switch to Windows 11 (and 5 reasons not to)
Will your PC even run Windows 11?
Quite frankly, the transition to Windows 11 has always been surrounded by a “will they or won’t they approach” to Windows 11’s hardware requirements. For a while, the restrictions that Microsoft put on the available supported processors made Windows 11 desirable; no one likes being told that they can’t upgrade, especially when they’ve paid good money for an existing PC. Then there were the exceptions, and the workarounds. In the end, the hassle of upgrading an older PC to Windows 11 might make some people ride out Windows 10 until they get a new PC.
No one, least of all Microsoft, wants PC users to be hacked. But it’s to Microsoft’s credit that no major exploit really plagued Windows 10 or Windows 11.
My take: so it's not necessary to upgrade to Windows 11, until I buy a new one.
