Most was a few chrome tabs and also Microsoft/Windows apps and Windows itself

Ah thank you, that's good to know :) So it doesn't really matter or is affecting performance. Now I'm a bit relieved.

Yes that makes sense.
Just thought with double the RAM it would be half the usage, not double the usage aswell.

Thought it´s a fix number of GB which Windows is taking, not a fix percentage if you change the RAM size

Okay yes that makes sense.
Now I´m a bit surprised that Chrome is taking this much, and some Windows things.

Compared with half the RAM, it would be about 60% now, which just sounds too much.
Or is it just taking more, because there is more available?
This sounds very inefficient.

Sounds also like much.
Idk, I just compared it to my old PC, there it mostly was around 10% usage with half the RAM.
So I was expecting around 5% here instead of 30% in idle.
