if your video has to large-quality then you must encode it first and then you edit what I am saying that because if edit high-quality video in low pc then it slow because adobe premiere pro cc has background some coding running then high-quality video import in the timeline so definitely it runs slow solution is encode it first and with using third-party applications and then edit it, now you have arisen some question why it required that if video size has 1GB or less you need to reduce it approximately 100MB or up to 200MB you well-known size less pc run fast.
try to edit videos of 1080p and 720p quality video if you edit 4k video in slow pc so sure pc lag or sometimes crash. go in preference setting then click memory setting choose only performance don't choose memory, ok these tips help you lot

It time to come on pro tips which are that upgrade your pc 2Gb to 4Gb, 4Gb to 8Gb, or more you have to do it, in my opinion, upgrade it to above 8Gb is enough but budget best is 16Gb. the real fact is that slow means slow no one you give money for upgrading and telling those things that I have shared with you.
last tips for you upgrade hard drive to solid-state drive it is 10X faster than the hard drive bootup window and gaming, editing which you help more really trust me but it is very expensive if install SSD in slow laptop editing boost, laptop speed up
