Help! Please read on your Windows PC

Let me start off by saying I am in no way tech savvy, and thus far doing this completely on my own. I’m trying to update for decent gaming performance (some games are fine, but some get very bad FPS)
I just bought “retro rewind - video store simulator” and the menu sections will be fine, but as soon as I’m walking around doing actual proper gameplay the frames per second drop prettyyyyy badly. So not unplayable, but pretty close to. I’ve messed with as much as I can with the games visual settings to hopefully put less pressure on graphics vs. performance but the fps is still painful AND now the game is ugly lol.

Is this a lost cause? I used Rufus to manually update my incompatible circa 2013/2014 hp beats 15 notebook to Windows 11, that took all day, and it’s seemingly only step one.
But I get this alert from steam, (image included) but then I can’t seem to get AMD to do anything. It will open but then there is nothing selectable within the window of the installer available to download on amd main drivers page(I forgot to get a photo of this)
Or it’ll straight up just error code while alternatively trying to boot up the supposedly correct version for my laptop (but only labelled as for windows 10) (image included)

The laptop is running on AMD Radeon(TM) HD 8510G. Version 15.201.1101.0 (8/6/2015)

    Your hardware isn't powerful enough to run this game. You can try lowering the resolution and graphics settings to the lowest levels. If that doesn't work, you'll need to upgrade your device.

    Since you've already tried adjusting visual options, try setting everything to the lowest possible, including resolution.
