I use an Intel i5 processer with 7.87 GB RAM. My system is a bit out of date, but it has a large disk drive, with ~900GB, as well as an additional 30GB drive

Saying "I use an Intel i5 processor" is like saying "I drive a Volkswagen". There are i5s that are worse than other i3s, or better than i7s.
Based on the (limited) info you've given us, I'm guessing you have a Windows laptop, likely running Windows 10 Home edition, which does not include virtualization features such as Hyper-V. It's also possible your hardware doesn't support virtualization extensions (or it's disabled in the BIOS) which would further contribute to poor performance.

Hmm, I thought I had to enable something in my BIOs because 64-bit guest OS's wouldn't work, but whatever it is, the option disappeared
I don't remember which option I enabled
EDIT: Hyper-V is not a windows feature either, otherwise it would be here:

Probably the same thing, you need a proffesional version.

CraftOS - Simply put a floppy disk into the computer. Hacked. GG.
Windows - Create bootable Windows USB, boot from it, open CMD, replace Sticky Keys with CMD, reboot, press Shift 5 times on login screen. Hacked. GG.

Or you know, disk encryption, BIOS password, using an OS that's actually decent (cough cough Linux), secure boot probably doesn't hurt either.

Also if you set an BIOS password make sure the Boot order has your HDD FIRST. My school doesn't seem to get that and all computers have the [sarcasm]GENIUS[/sarcasm] Boot order: USB->CD-Rom->HDD
Which has the nice side effect that when a non bootable USB Stick is plugged into the computer it doesn't work anymore.
Although there are some problems that allow you to replace files in system32 for Windows that don't require booting from a CD.

Multiple reasons why they are stupid:
First off, I ran Lenovo solution center multiple times. Inconsistent results.
The first time I ran it it said gave a warning on the signal strength test but passed everything else
Second time it did not pass the network scan test either
Third time it said everything was a-ok (which is definitely wrong, as half the time I can't even connect from the next room over without a cable)
It didn't even mention that my disk drive is more broken than it was 3 days ago (broken)
(3 days ago, it would at least read my CleanDRx disk, now it won't even read that)
Second thing, I installed Lenovo's latest firmware today. No visible vulnerability, stability, or boot menu changes, but my computer takes forever to boot now

When it comes to computers, the Sam Vimes Theory of Economic Injustice is especially apt. Lenovo systems are almost all "cheap boots", and that's before you get into their bloatware issues.
That's not to say that other manufacturers don't release rubbish machines as well - most of 'em make a point of releasing one "obsolete off the shelf" computer for every decent one. But a lot of Lenovo systems were obsolete before they were even designed.
Anyway, don't expect any software tools to detect something like, say, a disconnected wifi antenna. They also won't pick up on causes of wireless interference in your area. Your best bet is to test with other access points on other properties to help ascertain whether the system itself has a fault or not.

A few other things strange. My computer came installed with the wrong Bluetooth driver... replacing the driver fixed my Bluetooth, and also my computer has an i3 sticker even though it has an i5 processor
