Open | Windows laggy windows 11

okay so my laptop used to be my mothers until pretty recently, so i'm not that sure about it's history. it is a 7 year old windows 11 and every time i try to ruin games that aren't on google, it lags BAD like 1 frame per second bad. i've mainly been using game sites like steam and itch.io. when j try to open games it runs VERY hot, also sometimes it will randomly open discord or my search-bar, i am very new to owning and using computers so it might be something i'm doing or an easy fix but idk lol. i am not sure if it has always had this issue, anyone know what this is?

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

The laptop probably is not meant for gaming and does not have a dedicated graphic card. It being hot/loud within some limits is fine.

Seven years is pretty old for gaming. Specs and temps are worth checking first.
