OK thanks, that helps explain what you have now.
That All in One (AiO) is 4 years old. Its OK for someone who only needs an email machine or office work with the luxury of no need for a tower. But as far as gaming is concerned, its a potato with only a 6th gen i3 and no graphics card. Specs...
You didn't mention what games you are playing, but now days pretty much any/most games require a dedicated graphics card and a CPU that can match.
If you decide you cannot upgrade to a more powerful machine, the only thing you can do is pull the old Hard Drive out and replace it with a 2.5 inch Sata SSD and reinstall Windows. It will not improve gaming, but will load Windows faster.
Like one of these (does not have to be Samsung)...
Let me know what I can further help with.
PS: I know your frustration of salesmen. They are there to sell, no matter what.
