Since you're using a laptop, I'd recommend some less demanding games. To check if your laptop can run specific games, use this site here. Below are a list of some I think you should be able to play:

• Stardew Valley: one of my absolutely favorite games ever. There's so much to do and you play however you want. There are also a ton of mods for quality of life improvements, graphic changes, and expansions
• Portal 1 and 2: super fun puzzle games with a great story and memorable characters
• Skyrim: there's a reason this game has become such a meme and had been released on every system for the past like 15 years
• Fallout New Vegas: this might be optimistic to run but it's a great first person role playing game set in a post nuclear war apocalypse
• Terraria: like a 2D Minecraft that has a simpler crafting system and more boss fights. I actually prefer this to Minecraft
• Celeste: fun and challenging platformer. You will die a lot but the revives are so quick and the controls so smooth it isn't too frustrating when you need to start over
• Balatro: card game where you make poker hands to attack your opponent
• Slay the Spire: another card deck building game but you use your cards to take turns attacking your enemies

There are some online games you could play too, but for beginners I would avoid them since the communities can be toxic. However, if you don't mind, you can try out League of Legends (will run on a potato), Rocket League, or CS GO.

There are also emulators you can download to play old-school games like classic Pokémon or Mario. There are too many of those to list and it's a lot more complicated to download and install. So I would recommend checking out videos on how to do that and what games/emulators people recommend.
