Windows 10: My Surface Pro 7 i5 8gb seems to be not enough for windows 11 for my work

I've been using windows 11 since it was released and i'm really tired to feel that my surface pro 7 is not enough for handle windows 11 during my workday. I normally running during my workday apps like: Outlook, MS Teams, Whatsapp Desktop, Zoom, Excel or Word, Edge, etc. The problem is that the memory goes to 90 or 95% of usage with windows 10 it wasn't that much. After the laptop reach that peak, it get slow and several times crashes. I have done all the tips that i have been able to find on the web, and windows 11 is up to date.Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

Slow Performance in Surface Pro 4 - Core i5 8GB

Hmmm. So I decided to format the computer once more. This time I installed the Creators Update and I can feel it really fast, compared to last time. I downloaded PCMark 8 and made some comparisons.

This was before formatting:





This was after formatting:




A 13% difference!!!

The formatted part was running Vanilla Windows 10, that means that I haven't installed a single program into it.

I'm going to start by installing Office and Dropbox, and I will run the test again to see how it goes.

 

Slow Performance in Surface Pro 4 - Core i5 8GB

Sup guys! I'm resorting to this forum, because I know the caliber of people that roam around here.

I have a Surface Pro 4 - i5 w/ 8GB of RAM, and it's been painfully slow to do basic tasks. Excel, Web Browsing , Opening the Task Manager takes a lot; mouse lag; and maybe some coding with Visual Studio. I have a laptop with an i7 4700MQ and my laptop feels way snappier.

I thought that I wouldn't need the two extra cores since I was doing some basic work, but I don't know if I'm right...

So, this is what I've done:

1. Checked Startup items. Almost bare bones. No Java Updater, only Dropbox, f.lux, Windows Defender.
2. Ran sfc /scannow and chkdsk - No problems found.
3. Scanned for viruses (Malwarebytes). Everything clean.
4. CPU temp is great at 56°C.
5. CPU, Disk and RAM usage do not top 100% when experiencing these issues.
6. I've refreshed and Clean Install (From USB Drive), and I'm still experiencing issues.

Is there a way for me to track the usage and see which programs may be causing some sort of distortion? Even though it's an ultrabook i5 it should be way more than enough for the type of tasks that I'm doing (I think)

Any suggestions or ideas?

 

Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro Gets Priced

All of this doesn't matter what so ever. The fact is Windows 8 tablets are priced way too high. People are going to by the iPad long before they ever buy these simply because of price point. Microsoft had a great idea to have the same UI across all of their devices, but they are dead in the water due to price.
