Optimizing my Laptop

[ArnavN]

Hey!

I am running a Dell Inspiron 15 7558 (i7 5500u cpu and integrated HD 5500). Gaming wise, what would be the best optimization I could perform to get the most out of my parts? I've already done the basics like going into graphics properties and setting things to performance, but what else? I am looking into increasing the ram that my Intel HD graphics could use if that would help boost performance . Thanks!

You don't need a video to know that

Yeah I get that you should get a GPU, however I want to play lighter titles. I am not looking to run graphic intensive games.

And what title are you playing?

And what title are you playing?

Light MMOs,League of Legends (Which is no problem), and Overwatch (the one that is given me the least framerate). I don't want to shell out a couple hundred bucks and build a pc to run one single game, so I am looking to optimize what I have and run on low settings.

For league of legends it will be ok, I don't think it would be good for Overwatch. You really need a good gpu and wifi if you use it while playing.

For optimisations do the following:

Disable windows effects and set it to max performance
Disable xbox dvr
Disable and uninstall unnecessary startup programs
Use only windows defender or other lite anti virus software
