Windows 10: Should I put windows 10 on my 2gb ram laptop

My friend has this old laptop he never uses so I decided to take it to try and mine Bitcoin or something. But to connect to the school with I need to update to windows 8 or a over. I can’t find a free access key for windows 8 and I was offered a windows 10 iso disk for 10 bucks with the key but idk if that will make the computer terrible at mining or just brick. I’d love some help. I can provide more specs if necessary

32bit vs 64bit with 2GB of ram

Also, 64bit Windows runs very slow on 2GB of RAM, we suggest 4GB or better to install 64bit Windows.

EtwB Utilizing ~2GB of RAM


Hello,

I am experiencing an issue on my laptop where the Event Tracking for Windows (EtwB) is utilizing an excessive amount of memory. I have attached screenshots of both task manager's memory usage, task manager's list of running programming sorted by working memory, and a list from poolmon.exe showing the excessive memory usage.

Running the machine in Safe Mode, this does not occur. I have also disabled all startup programs and restarted, and the problem still exists. I tried disabling my network devices and closing all open programs, and it still shows over 4GB no matter what, with EtwB always being around that amount in poolmon.

Here are my system specifications:
MSI GS65 Stealth
GTX 1070 Max-Q
Intel Core i7-8750H
Intel UHD Graphics 630
16GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM (2x8GB) @ 2667MHz

Let me know if I can provide anything else to help in figuring this issue out.
