Windows 10: RAM used by Windows 10

I am using a Dell OptiPlex 3050 AIO with 4 GB RAM running on a 64 bit Windows 10 Home Single Language OS 2004 Version, which I have been given to understand is the latest.


Whilst checking the Processes Tab of the Task Manager, I observe that with just the Firefox Browser running almost 85% of the memory is used. Firefox consumes around 940 MB of the RAM.



According to posts in this community, Windows 10 OS uses around 2 GB RAM, whereas the Dell service engineer I spoke with last week mentioned that the OS itself uses up around 3 GB of the RAM.


I would like to know which of the two figures is correct because the performance of the system becoming an issue for me.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
