Windows 10 is a memory hog

The first Windows 10 laptop I got had 2 GB of RAM. It didn't take me long to realize it was useless.

So I got one with 4 GB of RAM, and am using it now. I installed the same apps I have in my Windows 7 laptop - the Chrome Browser, with Gmail, Google Calendar, and the Google Blogger app. I am writing this with the Blogger app, and it is more stable here than in Windows 7.

But I am getting these messages, saying I am running out of memory and cannot install the latest Windows 10 updates, that are critical. I will have to buy more memory (a lot more) and plug it into one of my USB ports, or into the SD slot.

If you buy one of these these things, you will need 8 GB, and that will cost you more.
