Laptop running games is not in accordance with the Intel gaming site

Hello, I'm a new member, and I hope that you can help me with something.

Last December, I bought a Lenovo laptop

Core i3 6100U

Ram 4GB

Intel Graphics HD 520

Win 10 64 bit

Screen resolution 1366x768

I noticed on the Intel gaming website that I can play some heavy games like Company of heroes 2, Rainbow Six Siege and others.

But when I got into the games, they are barely running. COH2 I put to the lowest settings and it's still lag as hell.

Siege the same.

So is there something wrong with my lap or....the site is inaccurate?

Do I need to update drivers or something? If so, how can I update it, because I tried some time ago and it said, my graphic is not Intel made, so....that complicated things.

So how do I do it if I need to update driver?

Second, my lap is getting slower, is there any way to make it faster? I'm low on money so any non-cost options is welcome.

Thank you

Latest driver for your rig is here:

If you encounter an error message about compatibility or validation, proceed like this:

Create a system restore point

Install the desired driver via "have disk method" as described at:

(ignore prolog about MS surface)

Regarding laptop getting slower:

Windows dislikes when your hard disk is filled more than 85%

Right-click on hard disk icon to open properties and select clean-up

However don't waste your money on 3rd party snake oil tools that promise to make your PC faster.
