System Hardware Specs: 2.53 GHz CPU with 3 GB RAM and 400 GB free hard drive space.
That's a big ooooof right there... Windows 10 will generally be eating all of that RAM on it's own... let alone trying to have Bitcoin Core do it's thing as well. Undecided

If that RAM value is correct, your system is likely page swapping like crazy, which will impact on the disk I/O which is one of the main bottlenecks for Bitcoin Core to sync (hence why SSDs are recommended).

If you can, add more RAM and/or an SSD as well... otherwise, your only real option is to just wait it out Undecided
