I’m about to buy a new PC and install 64-bit Windows 10 Pro on it. The “off the shelf” PC that I have in mind comes with 8GB of RAM, but my supplier does allow some customisation. Is there a good reason why I should pay a little bit extra and upgrade the RAM to 16GB?
I am a home user and have no excessive computing requirements. I am not a gamer, for example. I need a PC only for browsing the Internet (Chrome), running Office (Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint only), simple editing of photos and pictures, printing documents and photos, viewing video clips, and occasionally watching catch up TV. Admittedly, it is crystal ball gazing but I would like the PC that I buy now to be sufficient for my requirements for a number of years – say, 7/8 years minimum.
