when i play games running good without lag but after 15 minutes start lagging for 5-8 minutes and goes normal without lag but its not finished it starts again after 15 minutes and its repeat again no end for this. i never had this problem on windows 7. after updating windows 10

my pc specs:

graphic card: nvidia geforce 210 1gb ddr2
motherboard: MSI G41M-P33
memory: transcend 2gb ram and samsung 2gb ram
processor: intel pentium dual core processes
 
you are running out of RAM and Vram so after 8 min into it it starts to load from the HDD which is why it is lagging.

you need at least 8 gig RAM now days + i do belive your gforce is a little weak/geting old.
you can prolly ride put you pentium for alittle longer if the above listed. ^^
a SSD might help to eradicate/lessen the lagging alittle but not by much as it does not come close to the speed of RAM or VRAM.
 
you can be pro active till then and set ram hungry stuff shadows, lighting, AAFX down as to not use as much ram if you haven't already.
you can also go back to win xp setup cause win10 7 and vista use alot of ram, just on their own. whereas xp might you 500-a gig max depending what you have running in the background.
 
windows 10 and windows 8 have alot background apps running due to their "live tiles" and interface . and i would say about 4 gigs alone goes to running windows. if i were you i roll back to win7. where you could play decently or google how to turn of the heavy ram usage in windows 10. to me functionality ALWAYS trumps over new code or tech if it doesn't work how i want it to work then i don't need it. on the other hand 3 years ago i got 16gigs of ram and thought ahead so i don't have to worry about such things any more. and sooner or later when it comes down to it you WILL NEED MORE RAM so moving back to good old win7 is just pushing out the inevitable.

in short install win 7 agian so you can play
-in the mean time save money for MORE RAM
-and a new graka
-and by then maybe even a used mobo and i5
and you will be set for a little while longer.
