Windows 11 with 8 GB of RAM: can it really be up to 40% faster?

Published 2026-11-04

Many Italian users still use computers with 8 GB of RAM and wonder whether the Windows 11 operating system can run faster. An article published on the website tech-insider.org promises that, with some changes, the computer can become up to 40% faster even with this amount of memory. The text discusses optimizations, settings to change, and performance tests updated to 2026.

The article presents the guide as a collection of practical tips for those who want to improve their computer without buying new components. However, the source does not explain in detail which tests were used or on which machines they were carried out. The 40% figure should therefore be read as a maximum result referring to specific cases, and not as an improvement guaranteed for everyone.

In general, a computer's speed depends on many factors, such as the type of processor, the amount of memory, the speed of the disk, and the programs that start automatically. Reducing the programs running in the background or turning off some visual features can, in some cases, make the system more responsive. Real results, however, vary greatly from one computer to another, and the perceived effect is often smaller than the percentages indicated in the headlines.

For those who want to try these tips, it is useful to back up their data before changing system settings. It is also advisable to check the computer's speed before and after each change, so as to understand which modifications bring a real benefit. The information in the article should still be compared with other sources, especially the official guidance from Microsoft.
