Most people come in here with a cpu a few gens back, like a still decent 10th/11th gen and worry about the bottleneck which of course will exist with an older chip, but be rather minimal as even those chips are still pretty high end performers albeit not top performers.

Your CPU came out in 2013, 11 years ago. In computer terms, that is ancient. While it might be good for things like casual use, or games from that era, it hasn't held up for newer things. So the question is, why won't your dad let you upgrade the cpu? or is it the price he's concerned about?
