That's your only option. Overclocking is not possible or recommended as you could end up overloading the power delivery and destroying the laptop

Currently I am using hp notebook with HP 8136 motherboard in it. Specs are:

8 GB DDR3

2 GB AMD Radeon M300

1 TB HDD 

Core i5-6200u (2.30 GHz)

 

Is it possible and safe to overclock my laptop ?

i5 6200u is just 2 core and 4 threaded processor which is very slow and also RAM speed is 1600 MHZ....

You can't overclock it. It's not a slow cpu at all and is plenty for web browsing and office stuff. If with slow you mean general useage is slow like opening things and such. Change the hdd for an ssd and the machine will fly again.

For the slow launching problems and general slowness? No. That's typical for a hdd based device. It's why adding an ssd to 10 year old machines makes them far more usable again.
