What are your settings? I have a new Lenovo Laptop and have all the specs and network needed to stream, but for some reason can't due to drop kbps. Any tips/advice?

Cpu - Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 4405U @ 2.10GHz

Gpu - Intel(R) HD Graphics 510

Ram - 4GB
Your laptop is simply not suitable for streaming. At all, in any way. You need a more powerful machine.
The CPU is incredibly weak (the Pentium brand is reserved for Intel's lowest-end offerings nowadays) and is a U-variant (ultra-low-power) on top of that. Your GPU isn't going to be able to handle hardware encoding via QSV either, and 8GB RAM is minimum-requirements (16 is recommended).

10th generation mid tier CPU (so only 1 generation old).
As noted 8GB RAM is on the low end, whether this will impact you depends on apps running (learn to use Task Manager [Perf tab} and/or Resource Monitor to check for hardware resource contention)

You don't mention the GPU
so, yes you should be able to use OBS. Whether it can't handle what you want depends on more factors than posted here. Start your own thread, and be specific about what you are looking to accomplish (run OBS and stream is not sufficient... think overlays, green screens, background audio / video... etc... lots of options that can take hardware requirements from low-end to monster PC.... so it depends
