it seems Windows 10 is more ram hungry than windows 11
i just upgraded my Windows 10 pc from 16 to 32 gb ram based on the fact that my Windows 11 pc was only using about 11 GB out of 64 GB so i felt like anything over 32 gb would be wasted ...
but with 32 GB installed my Windows 10 pc is now using 14 GB whereas it was using about 11 when 16 GB was installed ... so windows 10 ram use seems to increase as you install more, trying to optimize for 50% use ... whereas windows 11 basically trying to minimize ram use ...
it seems Windows 11 ram use is more optimized for ultralight devices whereas Windows 10 ram use is optimized for more serious machines ...
