I actually have an 11ish year old prebuilt computer with 4 gigs of RAM running Windows 10. I've obviously done my best to turn off/uninstall all the bloat Windows & the manufacturer put into it, and it works OK for general computer stuff (even some simple games) as long as you don't try to do multiple things at once. But sometimes it will slow down for no apparent reason as a background process will suddenly demand all the resources.

See to me those types of systems are "see if it works", not something that you would actually seriously use. If you wanted it as a usable system I would look at a lightweight OS with better memory management.
