"MemInfo" MemInfo - Carthago Software is a nice little program that sits on the Taskbar (can be hidden) that at any time can show how much memory is used by any running program at any time.

Whilst it is true that newer computers tend to have more RAM, we have to consider that W10 will also be applied to small tablets and smartphones that may come with a lot less RAM than PCs. I currently own two systems with 8.1 that have only 2GB of RAM. One is an Asus T100 Transformer and the other an Asus x250TA. For systems like that it is good if the OS footprint is small.
With the Microsoft account I got burnt. I logged in when I installed 8.1 on my little x250TA and next I see is that these buggers have device encrypted my little laptop. Nothing worked any more - no BIOS access, no USB boot, no RECIMG, no imaging. The thing was quasi brain dead. Now I know how to decrypt the thing but 4 weeks ago I was at first discombobulated.
@Coke, yes there is dynamic scaling. But at the outset it has to be able to accommodate small RAM and for that you need a small design point for the kernel and the essential services. I think Windows has always been pretty good in RAM management. And RAM that is not used by the services is used for caching. That speeds things up too.
Yea my last run that killed my hdd I believe I forgot to disable hibernation and fast boot
Interesting, according to my stats, it takes about twice as much RAM. The first build was light though.

it would be more interesting under heavy loads for long periods.
leaks, etc
