Windows 10: what is the standard ram usage of win 11 if I have 16 gb ram?

Hello everyone.I am using Win 11 and I have 16 gb ram. And when I go to task manager > performance tab, it shows i am using ~7gb ram, but when I go to process tab to show all the applications I am using, I don't think it is using 7 gb ram because the total should be way less than 7gb ram. The most used ram application is Edge, and it uses about 2gb. If I close it, it is still using 5 gb. But when I check the window 11 requirement, they said it only require ~2gb ram to operate. So, what is this mean in my situation? Does 16 gb ram computer use more ram with win 11 or my computer has viruses?

:)

 

GPU RAM incorrectly listed in system information.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 1660 with 6GB video RAM. In an Intel i7, Win 11, 16 GB RAM computer, system information lists the video RAM as 1.0 GB. The latest graphics driver specific for Win 11 has been installed. No change. Please advise. Thanks.

 

Why does the usage of my 16 gb ram not go over 6.5 gb?

Checking the Performance of my 64 bit laptop with 16 gb of RAM through Task Manager, I watched the memory being used as I opened 8 tabs with various sites and files from my SSD. I could not get the RAM in use to go over 6.5 gb. Would this be an indication that for my use, I only need 8 gb of RAM, not 16? Is there a way to make use of my nearly 10 extra gb of RAM that evidently is not used or should I save some money by next time buying an 8 gb RAM computer.
