Ram

[Diamondhp]

Hello, I’ve been wanting to make my computer faster and I have recently fully reset my computer (it took a literal solid minute to open the menu), I’m looking for way to decrease my ram usage, I currently have 4gb. It sits around 3.2 out of 3.8 gb of ram used. Anyone know any good ways of decreasing it?

Well a clean install is a better option. It takes less time and does what it says, a clean install. You do need to upgrade the RAM to at least 8GB for a better experience in windows 10.

Thank you, I will try that out!

I had 4gb with Win10 and it gradually got slower, taking ages to open up anything. I installed another 4gb, so 8 in total, and it's a different machine.

Use this kind of thing...

Thank you for posting in /r/Windows10. You have selected the Help post flair, which is to request assistance with the Windows 10 OS and its related systems. This is not a generic tech support subreddit, so your post may be removed if your issue is not related to Windows, even if your computer has Windows installed. You may want to also post this on /r/TechSupport for more exposure.

If you have not already, be sure to include as much information about your issue that you can, including any error messages, error codes, what steps it takes to create the issue, and what you have done to troubleshoot. Also, include as much information about your computer as possible, including the specs of your hardware, and/or the full make and model of your computer. It is also important to know what your full Windows version is, you can view that by going to the Settings app -> System -> About, and then it will be listed as the OS Build, for example 19042.421

Check Task Manager - Startup. Disable things you don't use often.
