Just got a new computer, installed Minecraft, and now struggle to get even 30 FPS when the other got 60 on a regular basis. New computer is a Lenovo Yoga 710-15IKB Signature Edition. Processor is Intel Core i7-7500. It has 16.0 GB of RAM and a 64-bit Operating system. Really would like to get back up to 60 FPS. Help me, please!
You're playing on 4k resolution, there's your problem!
That's actually pretty good fps for intel graphics. There isn't a proper GPU installed as well is there? A quick search showed some models have nVidia graphics, if you have that then run the program with "high power graphics" (or something like that, I don't know the exact wording).

Your best bet now is to install Optifine, especially if you want to keep using 4K resolution. Otherwise you'll have to lower settings to get to 60. Also open the nVidia control panel and add "javaw.exe" as a program so you can also tweak the settings there (V-sync etc.)

I tried to do the whole nVidia control panel thing, but could never find "javaw.exe." When I tried to change the computer's display setting to 1080p it really screwed with thing. I still don't know how my other computer ran beautifully at 60 FPS and I never, ever messed with any of these things.

Install Optifine, set fullscreen resolution to 1920x1080 (or the highest resolution that your computer can play smoothly). Your problem isn't really your new computer, it's the lack of configuration of the game that's making it run at the native 4k resolution of your display which of course is going to lower your frame rate. HiDPI displays found in most new laptops are fantastic for productivity and everyday computing, but they do need a little configuration to get playable frame rates while gaming, especially with most non-gaming laptops not having a ton of GPU power.
C'mon man, I'm running out of spoons here... Just use the search function.
Was your old PC running 4K display?
And I believe "screwed with thing" can be solved by right-clicking Javaw.exe - properties - compatibility - disable display scaling at high DPI settings.

Minecraft can be a pain to setup sometimes. Post a screenshot with F3 details showing and we will probably be able to find the problem.

Here's a screenshot of the F3.

Ok...so what should I do now?
The things that I said.
Run Minecraft with your nV graphics (if you have that) and/or drop resolution back to 1080p.

Ok, I THINK I'm using the nVidia graphics card now (not really sure), but It still seems to stop at 30 FPS. Would really like to get it to 60.
Here's a screenshot again...
Yeah you got it
Look at the details on the right.

Ok, thanks for all the help (and patience). I think I finally got the game to where I want it.
