@ebonynight9193 It's better to keep OneDrive out of the picture, at least for now, since having it running can only complicate things.
Did you ever try disabling Origin in-game? The game window minimizing is a typical symptom of having it running, although there can be other causes as well.
As for your hardware itself, yes, you could do a lot better with a gaming PC. While your processor is above the minimum requirements for Sims 4, its graphics chip is not, and the 4 GB RAM isn't helping either. Installing the game and/or having the user folder on an external drive will also slow things down considerably, although with such a small hard drive, it would be difficult to store all your Sims 4 data internally.
If you do want to talk about building or buying a new gaming PC, feel free to ask. Just let me know your budget and country, so I can see what's available. I will say that in the category of entry-level gaming systems, you probably wouldn't save much money, if any, building your own, but for a lot of people that's a personal preference regardless.
Yes i have tried the origin in game off trick and it didnt help....but between you and my brother it seems I need to invest in a gaming pc ...I really appreciate the time and effort you have taken to answer my questions ..my brother was in a trade school and took electronics for 4 years as well as worked for some electronic companies and is a big gamer so as far as finding a pc whether built or just outright bought I have help but once again thank you..I also tried to make sure my graphics card was updated apparently tho it's no good...I appreciate all you have done to try to help me and if I need further assistance I'll try to reach out again...thank you for your time.
