My grandpa gave me his old laptop, these are the specs for it, and I want to know if i can possibly upgrade it to play games on it cause i can load the games but they are just really laggy, cause i don't think i need to upgrade that much just enough so the game doesn't lag

Other than swapping the HDD for a SSD, you really can't upgrade much on that system. A fresh install of Windows and current drivers would likely help a lot as well.

CPU cannot be upgraded.

GPU cannot be upgraded.

At most, you can upgrade RAM and the HDD to an SSD, but these will not give you much better gaming potential.

You will need to buy a new laptop if you want gaming prowess.

The best upgrade I would reccomend is swapping the HDD for an SSD to make the system faster.

8gb ram would not be much of a limitation. The 640m is.
