Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.
The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.
Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

Omg, I wonder if I’d splurge on a ram stick or an ssd (if I couldn’t do both for some heavy economical reason).
Just FYI I made an el cheapo “win-game-box” with an old dell and wasn’t able to install w10 on the ssd so I put it on a hard drive. So slow I felt I went back in time to 2005. Figured out how to reset win10 with a specific dell iso and was able to put it on the ssd -> totally okay/snappy pc.

It’s 2 4 gb sticks and so I’d have to hope that it supports 16 gb of ddr3.
As for the ssd, that’s in the cards eventually. But since it’s an aio Pc, it’s an utter pain to work on
It’s actually not shit for a hdd which confuses me. It’s just an Hitachi Travelstar hdd. I’ve used faster (on paper) machines that don’t feel as responsive as that computer.
