Don't have right specifications for Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 and need help in what to do next

[cmdavies6]

I am unable to install my latest game of Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 due to being told by Steam support that:
'I looked at your system requirements, and from what I can see, your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for this game'
I am not the best when it comes to being computer literate (and have no idea what the specifications mean) and was told to try this forum to get help as quoted here:
'If you aren't sure what the specifications mean (which is understandable), you may want to consult a local computer specialist or ask someone on the Hardware and Operating Systems subforum.'
The specs of my computer are below and I am hoping someone will be able to help me and tell me what I need to do to my computer to fix this, As I said, I am not the best with computers and will need step by step help.
My computer specs are:

If anyone can help me with this I would REALLY appreciate it as I have no idea what to do or what I need to do.
Thanks

I am afraid there's no easy way to say or deal with the problem, your laptop us simply to old and low spec, you fall to far below the minimum spec, so the only solution is a new pc / laptop, failing that, you can atleast refund the games that don't work if you have less than 2 hours played.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to avoid a new computer

That's pretty much unavoidable at this point.

As computer tech advances and computers become more powerful, software that's created for them also changes and requires progressively more power. Eventually any computer becomes obsolete for gaming, although how long that takes depends on what you started with.

Laptops like this don't normally last very long. I'm surprised it got into the 2010s at all, let alone made it to 2017.

It's older then 2011 !

So hmm yea, for gaming, laptops are sorely outdated after 3 years.

My first ever gaming PC had a Core2 Duo like that. And that would've been 2005-ish.

Anything before Intel 3rd Gen is way too old, period.

[cmdavies6]

Not happy as I cannot afford a new computer.

What do you mean 'Build a Desktop'?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well I dont see how you would think it's realistic for a PC that old to run newer apps/games

[ugafan]

You have two options.
1. Keep old computer and don't play game.
2. Buy new computer to play game.

Nowadays you can buy PCs in individual pieces and assemble them yourself. It's the best way to buy a gaming PC; not only do you save money, you have better control over what goes into it.

PCs built this way are also modular and easily upgraded. Instead of having to replace the entire system, you can replace individual parts as they fail or become obsolete. Ultimately that saves money, since you can extend the life of the machine to many years by doing this.

True, but not easy. Love my old computer and never had a problem with it. Can play all my other games on it and have enjoyed it. It's just so annoying that technology goes out of date so fast as it's expensive and being on a pension, it's soooooo hard to save any money. Wish I had the money to buy a new computer but it's just not that easy. May have to find a way to get some help.

Sounds like a fantastic idea, just wish I had the knowledge to do something like that. I'm not great when it comes to computers. Know the basics and that, but the rest is sadly beyond me. I appreciate the thought though.

Everything you need to understand about building desktop PCs you can look up YouTube.
You don't need to know all the tech-terms.

[cmdavies6]

Will have a look. Thanks

It's not as difficult as it may sound at first. Anybody who can cook or assemble an Ikea bookcase is qualified to assemble a PC; all you have to do is follow simple written instructions.
