Microsoft says 8 GB of RAM should be enough for anyone running Windows 11
Redmond adds new items to its make-Windows-better list
Microsoft has outlined four new initiatives aimed at enhancing the performance of Windows 11. The company's executive VP for Windows and Devices, Pavan Davuluri, expressed optimism about the improvements being made, despite many of the changes still being in development. These efforts include removing certain AI features, enhancing driver quality, and streamlining the Windows Insider program.
However, Davuluri also admitted that memory efficiency improvements are yet to be fully realized. Microsoft has committed to focusing on memory optimization for systems with 8 GB and above of RAM, with the goal of reducing the operating system's memory footprint to deliver a faster and more responsive experience. This initiative comes amid a declining PC market and a persistent memory shortage, which has led to rising prices and manufacturers struggling to maintain full product lines.
Microsoft's other improvement priorities include delivering a faster out-of-box experience, providing quicker setup and enhanced parental controls, and making voice interaction more natural and fluid across applications.
