So I’ve bought my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop a few years ago at Walmart with my bf a few years ago.
It can run fast but there have been moments where it would randomly lag up especially when I am playing The Sims 4, or whenever I upgrade to Windows 11, even on Windows 10 it has acted slow.
The Specs are:

Intel Core i5 @ 2.50GHz 41 °C
Comet Lake 14nm Technology
RAM

Have you checked task manager? If not, when things start to get slow quickly pull it up (ctrl+shift+esc) to see if any processes are using a lot of a particular resource.
My Bf checked task manager earlier, it seems to be running normally, only thing I could guess was something was using 20% of Ram Memory, But I had the Sims opened at the time.
