    I have provided all the details above. I have installed Windows 10 Iot Enterprise in it.
    The system has 4gb ram and no dedicated graphics card. HDD is 500 GB.
    Kindly help me what can I do to make my system more responsive and fast.
    In MS Edge and Chrome, I am unable to play 1080p or more resolution videos smoothly and going to full screen make it worse. 1080p videos lags a lot.
    Kindly help what can be done.

    replace with ssd. Maybe upgrade ram to at least 8GB too.

    Your system is a bit ancient now.

    Old device VS Old system is best policy.

    According to #1 & #3,
    Starter edition, or other edition with some customization might help. e.g. EnterpriseS in Starter style. And x86 is recommended.

    PS:
    For LCU sake, it is applicable to builds as of 17763.1. For builds from 18632.1 forward? It needs Custom Update which must be too difficult.

    Good luck.

    Impossible task.
    Neither G41 onboard GPU, nor the CPU in software mode can fluidly handle 1080p video of any kind, stick with 720p.
    Not to mention it's lacking hardware acceleration for H264 (AVC) used by any HTML5 website or VP8 / VP9 / AV1 video used by youtube videos.
    MS Edge and Chrome have also dropped support for most old hardware, so even basic browsing stutters. Best bet is using Firefox ESR (with h264fy addon) for a better experience.

    Single-channel memory makes everything even worse than it should be (onboard GPU is already a handicap), even adding a SSD would not do much (SSDs in general do not help at all with browsing and video playback).
    The only thing improving things in the areas you're interested in, is a video card. The cheapest you could find would do (Nvidia GT 730 / AMD R5 220 or something better on second-hand market).

    I have had "dead" ram slots that were actually caused by damaged cpu pins or socket. I would totally toss that ancient board you are using, and find something on ebay even slightly less ancient. Third or fourth gen i3,i5,i7 pretty cheap now.

    Tie a lead brick to it, and throw it out of the 10th floor window.

    Used computers are cheap, d___ near give away cheap.

    Speaking of which, anyone in the Houston area want a color laser printer, working? You pick it up, free. I deliver, $25.

    Wipe it and install a light-ish Linux distro (Xubuntu, MX Linux, Manjaro), or if you just can't/won't, Windows 7 at the most (don't care if it's obsolete...so is all your hardware. Just browse with common sense). Seriously.

    Other than that, just eliminate anything that "starts with Windows" that is not essential (drivers), set un-needed services to manual or disabled, turn off Defender/virus scanners/system restore (make Macrium Reflect or alternate images for backup), turn off windows visual effects (transparency, shadows, fading, etc.)...um...um...more stuff like that.

    Yeah, don't even try that. Hell, I usually only set video streaming to 720 myself, just because more is rarely worth bothering with on my Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1660 Super, 1080p, 144Hz monitor. The visual "upgrade" is not worth the bandwidth to me (unless it's really hot pr0n). With your stuff, I'd be all about 480p...on Linux. The only reasons to stay on windows are demanding apps like photoshop, video editors, and modern games...which are out of reach anyway. Go Linux!

    Replace the HDD and use an SSD. Use Win10 LTSB 2016 (not standard Enterprise). Disable/remove Defender (if you really want an AV use Nod32).

    That's all, your PC will be more than enough to most everyday tasks, to say it better it will be amazingly fast if compared to your actual situation.


    That's matter of the VGA rather than RAW power of the PC, so there little you can do to improve it, but for sure you can watch your video in HD using MPC-HC and setting the appropriate overlay video output.

    Is there any windows 10 lite that can work well on my system, which use very least amount of resources and ram?
    As my system taking more than 85% of ram and cpu all the time
