i ran a dxdiag and this is the information i got:

Sorry to say that you probably need a complete new PC to play Fallout 4.
Min req.
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
Free Disk Space: 30 GB

And that is the bare minimum to just start the game basicly and run and low settings I guess.

Mmm, you can get it to run if you modded it and dropped specs. I got it running fine with my 1gb amd video card, you most likely won't be able to run it at 1080p, but 720p should be plausible. I've since upgraded my hardware, but I was running Fallout 4 on not the greatest hardware for a month or two just fine. You are using Intel HD Graphics 4400 though, so you kind of have your work cut out for you. You'll need to do some tweaking to the graphics settings, drop the resolution, edit config files a bit, but I think you can play the game, but probably no better than 720p at like 18-20 frames at best.

I would recommend getting a newer laptop long term though with a dedicated graphics card, or a barebones desktop you can upgrade over time. There isn't much you can do to make an integrated graphics card on a laptop better, unfortunately :/

Your laptop model has no graphics card it has Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4400 from the processor.

This is basically what you have. Running at your normal resolution on like lowest possible. If you killed the resolution some you might actually get past 30fps.
