Well, it’s a Lenovo Ideapad S145 with an Intel Celeron and 4GB of RAM. I’m writing this on it. I want it to be slightly faster at browsing the internet. I use Chrome, I know that’s awful xD

4GB for Windows is a bare minimum for it to run. 8GB is minimum for a usable system, 16 if you need to actually work.
Turn off all the animation (start, run, sysdm.cpl - under the Performance tab click the radio button for performance).
Not really much else you can do short of increasing the ram.
I looked up OP’s system, it supports 8GB RAM max.
Adding my comment to yours since it is in the same menu on windows. Barring all other suggestions op, which you should probably do instead, there’s also increasing the page file.
Won’t always yield results depending on how well windows is managing it by itself, but it can help if you still want teensy bit more after buying better RAM sticks.
You can also be a goober about it and buy a program called Primocache. It takes that same setting and let’s you reserve even more of your hard drive just for a page file. But like I said, very very silly.
Yea, I thought about the page file adjustments, but didn’t feel like getting up and looking at a machine because I couldn’t remember exactly what the screens were, haha.
Plus Windows has gotten so much better. With 95, Win2k, etc, manually setting it really made a difference - seemsnto make much less difference today. Though it could help OP - worth trying anyway.
Don’t feel bad, they’ve moved the setting menu to a different more hidden place on every release of windows. 👈😎👈
