extremely long load times, anything I can do to fix this?

So I got a laptop for christmas, like 2019. I used to play valorant a lot and the load times were normal like just you know, a good 10-20 seconds. Fast forward to now and I don't even play anymore because of how bad the load times have gotten. I turned down the graphics on everything to low and off, nothing changed. One time this guy told me I needed more "ram" (I don't know what that is) for my laptop into valorant but I don't think I can add more because you can't really open up the laptop and add a ram or whatever...!?!?! If anyone knows a fix I'd gladly appreciate it ahahaha .....
