I'm unsure whether it's the right idea to boost my PC's speed. The current specs are: Intel® Core™ i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz, 4.00 GB RAM (3.85 GB free), Intel HD Graphics, Windows 10 Pro, and a Lenovo ThinkCentre. The BIOS doesn't offer an 'overclock' feature. Where might I discover this option?

Your CPU is currently locked, so you can't increase its clock speed. It seems your motherboard likely doesn't allow overclocking, requiring a more powerful chipset instead.
