I've also gone through all of the services that are started automatically, and shut down stuff that I don't need. I've also manually configured the built in firewall often to the level of "let this file access this tcp port, etc...), and I've got MSE running (that does do auto-update).

Used to do that shutting down unused services stuff for Windows 7 and prior versions.
Left the defaults alone in W10 and it just seems to work better.

No longer supported after 8 years or something like that ...

Sorry to say, Apple has dropped official support for your model.
Many of the latest features of the OS require current hardware. At some point, Apple has to decide if maintaining code for older computers is worth it. This becomes even more critical when many of the main features will not work due to hardware incompatibility. Looks like ~2009/10 is the oldest models supported under Sierra.
