His PC specs are
i5-9400
AMD RADEON RX 570
16 GB DDR4 3200
2tb SEAGATE BARRACUDA HDD
600w psu i think ( i forgot and i dont want to dig through his pc)
 
So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
 
Can you post a screenshot of where it mentions Windows 7?
If Windows 7 is showing under backup then this is normal as it is a leftover from that OS.
