oh yeah, i forgot about that requirement, but i was able to install win 11 on intel 3rd gen though, by running some bypass...
anyway due to him being newbie, he can just upgrade to windows 10 as windows 10 has no HW requirement, he just need to install windows 10 iso.
windows 10 iso from microsoft

i would not suggest a clone software because his HDD has a lot of junks inside. i would always full install from zero to have a fresh start and just move data one by one, but that's just me.
a clone would require him to install a new software and due to him being novice in this stuff, i would not recommend adding more complicated process to this.

Win 11 refused to install on my 2016 i7. I can't imagine a 2015 i3 would meet it, let alone the graphics card requirements. Windows 11 hardware specs above suggest the lowest processor in the i3 line that can run it is an 8th gen (circa 2018).
I agree, his best bet is to probably upgrade to an SSD and upgrade to the highest level of Windows he can for his price range, but I'm pretty sure that Windows 11 is out.
