Microsoft tunes Windows 11 for 8GB laptops as RAM prices rise

MICROSOFT has announced plans to optimize Windows 11 for devices with 8 GB of RAM, citing rising memory prices as a primary concern. With many new laptops returning to this RAM configuration, the software must adapt to improve performance. This is notable as it's the first time Microsoft has directly targeted 8 GB as a baseline optimization, addressing ongoing performance issues caused by higher memory demands from applications like Chrome. The company's commitment indicates urgency in making Windows 11 more usable on lower memory devices without raising costs from hardware upgrades.
