Latest OS 15.+ vs 13.1?

Hi! I’m running 2025.4.3 on a rPi 5. When I installed it everything slowed down. Poking around I found people suggesting that it was OS 15, now repaired. However, my system is running 13.1 & I don’t see–& never have–a way of upgrading…Can someone tell me what to do!?

I’ve updated the bootloader per instructions & updated the OS to 15.2. Still slow as molasses.
