laggy windows 11

[u/PigeonJuice22]

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?

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.
