    ... My computer (HP Elite Dragonfly G2) is having a tough time- often using 60-90%+ of memory capacity. it has 16GB, and I've had it for a little over 3 years. 

    I use Chrome, which I know is RAM heavy. But I'm wondering if I just need to buy a new computer with more memory since I multitask a lot (I have a ton of tabs open on Chrome). I'm in the zone where it impacts Zoom calls- I can't use any programs that are memory intensive. This is a recent thing- my computer used to perform better. 

    What do y'all think?

    Yes I think it's the latter. I've always used a ton of tabs of pretty heavy programs like airtable, adobe creative cloud plus apps like excel all open simultaneously.  I think the possible culprit is the update to Windows 11....

    I get an error when trying to update to win 11. which is a pretty complex fix i think, or at least too advanced for me. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/-we-couldn-t-update-system-reserved-partition-error-installing-windows-10-46865f3f-37bb-4c51-c69f-07271b6672ac...

    Yeah- I check task manager pretty regularly and it's chrome, slack, spotify, and occasionally an adobe product if I have it open that eat up all the performance....
