I upgraded to windows 10, but for some reason a large amount of my ram is being used as well. I start up my pc at 70% some times. I have 8gb of ram. Also, if i were to downgrade back to 8.1, would the ram still get consumed as much? Regedit, going to NDU and then to start and changing it to 4...

Back to running Windows-7-pro. Still more solid than 8.1 or beta-10. I have 16-gigs of ram on the board. Windows-7 sees it, but I often wondered if it actually uses it. I had the pagefile at 12-gigs. So I did a test. I moved 38-gigs from one sata drive to another sata drive. The desktop...
