That Mac model can run up to macOS 10.13. However, 4 GB RAM is low even for 10.11. It will start using the hard drive for RAM storage and that will slow the whole thing down more. You can look into upgrading the RAM and a place to start is https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/8566DDR3S8GP/ because they also have install videos. Still, some would question if it is even worth it because a 14 year old computer is gong to be slow no matter what you do to it. The highest macOS you can run is still no longer supported by Apple.

Realize I am a volunteer helper just like you. I am doing other things too at home. Posting urgent HELP messages won't speed up things any. I had to spend 10 minutes of my time dedicated just replying to you because I had to look up a lot of information. ;-)
THIS IS EVERYTHING I COULD FIND
HELP
THANK YOU SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE
