I'm looking to see if my grandmother's Acer Aspire E5-573-35BH is worth upgrading and giving it a new life.

For context, I have my main PC, which is my daily driver. I'm looking to upgrade and restore my grandmother's old laptop as a cost-efficient way to have something I can use for work without needing to buy a brand new laptop. I won't be using the laptop for anything more than Word, Excel, taking online meetings, social media & updating/maintaining a marketing website I'm starting.

This is so I can have something I can take with me to a coffee shop or other places and work outside instead of being stuck at home on my PC when I'm working.

Is it worth upgrading the laptop for this intended use?

If so, please recommend any good SSD and RAM upgrades I should look into. Already searching for upgrades, but just want to see if it's worth upgrading and using for the short term. (2 -3 years max)
