Windows 11 fails to run smoothly on 8GB of RAM, Microsoft admits

Microsoft has acknowledged that Windows 11 does not perform well on devices with only 8GB of RAM, despite its own development efforts. The revelation comes from internal testing, highlighting that even the company itself could not optimize the operating system for that memory level. This matters because many budget and older PCs have 8GB or less, potentially forcing users to upgrade hardware or stick with Windows 10.
