Windows 10: RAM Usage - completely different story than 'requirements'. [Win 10 / Win 11]

Hi. I don't know if/when this will be addressed but somebody is got to say it.Windows 10 and 11 consume way more than their advertised RAM usage so it takes a significant more amount of RAM to effectively run the OS and still have room to run your apps.It's not even gaming or 3D rendering - it's about basic usage!Windows 10 got a recommended RAM / minimum of 2 GB, but after installing it, the RAM usage jumped to 4 GB+, so one would need at least 8 GB to run it effectively.Now comes 'Windows 11' - Windows 10 with other coat of paint. Recommended 4 GB, but RAM usage skyrockets to 8 GB+. Let's sa

Win 11 compat app

Both your CPU and graphics card should be ok- your CPU is on the list:
Windows 11 CPU List Released | WePC

and your graphics card is new enough to support DirectX 12.

These requirements are set by the installer of Win 11. Detailed specs for Win 11 have been released by MS and are given in other such threads here and on elevenforum, but may change slightly before official release.

 

Win-10 eating up ram ?...

I know there is a problem with Google chrome eating up all the ram on my Macs.

I think it is doing the same thing on my Win-10 computers.

As soon as I close Google chrome browser my ram usage drops back down to normal.

How can I print out the list of running processes ?
