I think it looks fine. It does seem Windows 11 seems to use most of your ram when even doing light tasks, but if you do something more demanding like start a Zoom call and open PDFs for the meeting, it reallocates the ram with the new needs.
Yep, I have 32 on both laptop and desktop and average usage even with no apps open is 10 GB. But as soon as I start doing memory demanding stuff, like running WSL, VS Code and 4 VMs at the same time (don’t ask), after closing the app and returning to the original conditions the usage is 2-3 GB.
Some times it frees too much, like that time I accidentally tried to use 45 GB of memory and it let me. Task manager was running of the ssd and the performance of even just moving the mouse tanked, because basically everything OS got moved to the “swap” memory.
Most laptops have super easy RAM upgrades, just open it up and install a new kit, assuming the ram isn’t soldered. What’s your laptop model?
Windows is smart enough to allocate ram where it needs, but windows 11 is a giant ram hog for no reason. You will get performance drops, stutters, and other issues if you run out of RAM.
I’ve got the Acer Aspire A515-56. I don’t open demanding apps more than running discord, youtube (edge), some pdf program and other simple apps. U think if i install windows 10 it would improve? at this point idc about the more aesthetic lol.
i’ll definitely buy a 16 ram these days
Discord using 600?? I peak 280, have you joined a million servers??
