I bought HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 20 days ago and everything worked without fault. But today every game takes forever to load, and even when it does, it barely works on the lowest FPS possible. I don't know enough about laptops to figure out why this happened and what can I do to fix this, I need help, please.

@ADyga Due to the current global COVID-19 situation, we're seeing an influx of customers coming in for support and we appreciate your patience.
That said, there are many ways to increase FPS and system performance:
Update the BIOS.
For notebook PCs, go to HP Notebook PCs - Updating the BIOS
Update the graphics driver.
Go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, enter your PC model, then select the driver for your graphics card.
Most games allow you to change the graphics settings. Using a lower graphic quality often improves FPS.
Close any applications or programs that are not being used.
Turn on Game Mode. Game Mode is a new feature in Windows 10 Creators Update that improves gaming performance by limiting background processes and programs from using system resources while a game is running.
Press the Windows key and G to open the Game bar.
In the game bar, click Settings.
Click the check box next to the game title to enable Game Mode for that game.
Plug notebook PCs into an AC adapter to give the graphics card more power.
