What should I do? And I can't figure it out

Laptop Specification

​Processor: Intel Core i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40 GHz (Dual-Core, 2nd Generation)

​Total Installed RAM: 4.0 GB

​RAM Speed: 666 MHz (Clock speed, indicating DDR3-1333 MHz performance)

​Memory Form Factor: SODIMM (Standard laptop memory)

​Memory Slot Configuration: 1 of 2 slots used

​Hardware Reserved Memory: 52.1 MB

​Storage Capacity: 400 GB

​Problem Description

​The primary problem visible on your system is a severe memory capacity bottleneck.

​Your laptop is currently using 2.7 GB of your total 4.0 GB RAM, leaving a meager 1.2 GB of available memory. This means nearly 70% of your system's temporary memory is permanently occupied just to keep the Windows operating system and basic background processes running.

​Because you only have 1.2 GB of headroom remaining, the system will easily run out of physical memory during normal daily tasks, such as opening multiple web browser tabs or launching data-heavy applications. The screenshot shows that your Committed Memory is at 3.5 GB / 13.4 GB, which proves that the laptop is already being forced to overflow excess data onto your 400 GB storage drive as virtual memory. This data-swapping process severely drags down performance, causing sluggishness, delayed responsiveness, and frequent app freezing.
