Gaming Quick Laptop Question here.

[DolpinCube]

Hello! I am a complete noob here in gba temp but I was curious. How do I make my pc run faster? I have enough space, No viruses, and steam. I want to run some games on my pc and I found something called "Razor Cortex" I don't know if I can trust it. But anyway. Do you guys have any ideas you can help me with? I have a crappy laptop and I can't get a better one because I'm low on cash. Thanks in advance!

There's not much you can do to a laptop to increase it's specs. At best you could upgrade the RAM and HDD, and depending on how old, the CPU, but other than that there's not much you can do without spending tons of money on a new laptop or an eGPU. If it's crappy, you're stuck with a crappy laptop.

Your best bet if you want to play PC games without buying a new PC is to use a cloud gaming service.

Your A6-6310 can play games older than 2014, but anything newer will struggle even on the lowest settings.

You can slightly improve speeds by adding more RAM and replacing the HDD with a SDD, and maybe removing bloatware and unnecessary features from the OS, but the bottleneck in performance is still the A6-6310 APU (which was never designed for games, and is more of a multimedia chip).

You are pretty much limited to lightweight modern indies and PS3/x360 era games. It's a huge catalogue of games anyway, unless you want to play the latest popular Triple A game.
