How much RAM do you have? Minimum 4GB should be enough for Windows 64b. Running other apps will cut into that, especially Chrome.

8GB should be considered the current absolute minimum for Windows these days. And RAM is cheap... |

I only use my desktop for surfing the web, my stock screener, some basic work stuff and streaming sports. I don’t play any games. |

Chrome is RAM hungry. So are quite a few collaboration tools like WebEx. Of course, MS Office apps like Outlook are resource hungry. I'm getting ready to phase Windows out completely here - I've got my home computing down to where the only devices that need continuous support are the Windows machine and they are simply that much more "hands on" than everything else. |
