I'm just not used to that. It wasn't until just a few years ago I actually started running legit copies of Windows. Been running illegal bootleg copies for almost 20 years. Heck, I only have one legit copy of MSOffice and that's on the PC that came with it.You should call Microsoft support.
Using more memory isn't necessarily a bad thing - disk cache and all....It seems to have better memory management than Win7 did. I have 8gb of RAM on this system, and I'm constantly using under 50% of that, where on Win7, I was typically in the neighborhood of 70-80%.
.....by the seat of my pants it doesn't seem to be caching. It's much faster than 7 was at task switching and having multiple tabs open in multiple browsers while keeping a TV window open. It shows Chrome and Waterfox using significantly less memory than they used to on 7. I'm used to Chrome using 3gb of ram by itself.Using more memory isn't necessarily a bad thing - disk cache and all....
