The OS should not be an issue. Just be sure to get all the updates from Microsoft.
The 7300 video card is problematic. If you notice, it uses system RAM for its memory and doe snot ave any dedicated video RAM. It will be slow and any memory it uses will be taken away from system RAM. Performance qill be poor.

Will getting a new video card help or will it be the same issue?

New video card should make a pretty good difference.
