Windows 8 is actually great. It's the last efficient OS from Microsoft. I mean, you can actually be surfing on the internet and have 4 GBs of RAM and you're actually having a good time? By good I mean like 2.5 GB used with the browser open.
Well apparently you could before windows 10, or there's something wrong with my laptop but it's always chuggin along after boot at like 3.25 Gb used easy.
Maybe it's because all the fancy x86 emulation it does is actually pretty RAM hungry too. Oh well.
(It's a Samsung Galaxy book go. They're dirt cheap! And I actually quite like it, it's been my main computer for a few years now actually. )
