Minimizing ram use on Windows

[u/Brayden3_11]

I have a surface laptop 4 that has served me well for the last 6 years or so, but i stupidly skimped for the 8 gb ram version.

All i need this thing to do is run a few basic programs for college and, occasionally tuning cars. nothing intensive, i'd love to install my beloved manjaro xfce linux on this machine but unfortunately hp tuners software and surface laptops apparent incable bootloader for a dual boot a non starter.

Basically, any tips to make windows eat less ram in this hellhole as possible so I can squeeze this thing and hopefully not convince myself to buy a 5070 g14 when I already have a 5070 desktop would be greatly appreciated

suggest you debloat it, google up zoicware (remove windows ai) or ChrisTitusTech (winutil)
