Quick Windows 10 question. Since upgrading from 7 to 10 my memory usage has gone sky high. I'm using 73% right now.

Is this just a matter of me not having enough RAM (4 GB) or does Windows 10 use up more memory ?

It should be about the same, however you need more RAM.

I'm hoping you're using a 64bit OS.

However I've always found that "upgrading" instead of doing a fresh install always causes issues, it may be best to record your product key and do a full reinstall. I would also check what services are running and what is running at startup, but to each their own.

4GB is kinda low by today's standards. 8 is today's standard imo.

Mainly though it's an issue of using Windows 7 until they work out the bugs for 10, patches, etc. Never a good idea to make such a switch unless you're proficient with computers and want to deal with the hassles, be a 'beta' tester, experiment, etc.

Otherwise you just became a guinea pig.

I've found 10 to be a bit buggy for my tastes, I'd use it over 8/8.1 but I'll stick with my 7 for now.

May just be glitches with programs not being fully compatible.

It's an interesting thing that I'll keep my eye on though.

The Star Trek Online team is pleased to announce the epic conclusion of the five-year Iconian War story arc with Star Trek Online: Season 11 – New Dawn!

New Dawn will rise out of the grim wartime tale to introduce an all-new story focused on rebuilding and hope. Discover a previously unknown civilization and uncover the mystery of a strange traveler from another time. New Dawn also sees the return of Chase Masterson reprising her role as Mirror Leeta from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a returning member from the large stable of Star Trek franchise actors.

Along with new lore and story progression in Season 11, Star Trek Online will also be updated with new gameplay options in the form of the Admiralty System. Take command of your inactive starships to complete dangerous assignments and gather exciting rewards, while advancing your influence in the Admiralty campaigns. Within this system, each starship is given special traits and stats that must be used to successfully complete assignments. Plan carefully which ships are sent on which assignment in order to meet their requirements and offset various hazards, in an effort to yield great rewards across any of three separate campaigns.

There is so much new and exciting content that we can’t wait to show off! Stay tuned for more information about Star Trek Online: Season 11 - New Dawn!

I bought a cheap laptop last week with native windows 10 so I'll let you know if it's slow cpu and low ram make it dysfunctional or what, wanted to explore 10 in a sterile native environment
I have VMs for that.

Or extra hard drives.

both don't mean every piece of hardware in your rig is designed for windows 10, senor.

That's a silly concept.

Even if it weren't a silly concept, it doesn't need to be.

Also: neither is that crappy laptop that you just bought.

...and if you buy a computer from a store or say 'Dell', you wipe the HDD and get a fresh version of windows without any malware.
I always suggest people do that as well, as long as they can handle finding drivers for all their hardware etc
Dude...

What a moron

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/254929-A-Warning-for-Buyers/

For those who don't play the way housing sales between players works is:

1. You pay them to relinquish the plot
2. You buy the plot for its original value
3. You pay (or get the deed from the other player, it's returned when house is demolished) a fee for your house and then you build it

After relinquishing any player can come snatch it up so you have to be careful since they don't have a transfer system at the moment.

Guy pays seller 3m to relinquish plot worth 20m (which people usually charge the same amount or up to 2-3x for since housing is full almost everywhere) and because he never did any research on it his FC can't buy it (he thought you could transfer for free and was being charged 3m to do it) and are now out of 3m gil so he calls a GM and posts on the OF how he was scammed by this guy when in reality he got an extremely good deal.

Best part is some random snatched the plot up for super cheap.

Well, that was unexpected. Peeling away layers of an onion.

I rolled back from Windows 10 to 8.1 as well, after a bunch of problems I couldn't find quick fixes for (and didn't see the point in trying to fix them for hours). It was a dumb move on my part to upgrade before at least service pack 1 is ready anyways, the only gain I noticed was some disc space. Some of the problems were: touchpad (laptop) not working, Mail app giving errors, not allowing me to sign-in, sluggish Firefox, very sluggish Facebook that sometimes just stops loading the page..

But a total PC freeze sealed the deal for me, lol.

My memory was running at 75% when I was doing pretty much nothing. That is all I needed to know to go back to 7.
