I'm dumb pls help

Hello, I have a really slow pc without an graphics card and want to somehow get more fps in games and less lag when doing homework. Is there anything I can do without spending money which I don't have to optimise my pc?

Specs? Only thing I would say is get a free GPU

Typically the only things you can do is overclock what you have and shutdown all running background-apps. Anything more than that requires actual hardware-upgrades.

4gigs of some low frequency ram

Yeah I understand that I need new parts but I dont have any money so I'm looking for something I can do for free

Yes, and like I just said, there isn't much you can do.

Without buying hardware, only ways to speed-up are to reinstall fresh OS and then install only those software you really need.

Fresh Windows? Have you checked whats actually causing your problems? And with what they are happening? We can skip "more fps in games", thats not gonna happen without GPU. You are probably already running everything lowest possible settings. So focusing the removal of "lag when doing homework" is the better option. And without knowing what you mean by lag or what you have already tried, can't really assist.

 

I mean, just using the blanket word as "lag" isn't very informative. Lag is network term and means you have issues with packets going from your PC to server and back. But since its used as blanket term, I assume you are seeing slow loading. Which could be from all 3 major parts, CPU, RAM and HDD.
