Are you able to change out the RAM in your laptop? I know on older laptops you were able to swap out RAM, but I'm not sure about newer ones. If you can, you should look into getting compatible RAM. Most games these days and even Windows 10/11 needs more RAM. Also if you can, you might be better off seeing if any of your favorite games can run on Linux and dual booting Linux Mint with Windows. Heck replacing Windows with a Linux distro might just be better all together lol.
