16 is ok.......32 is better if your system supports it
Hi,,,
I have been using computers since 1970 Tandy TI 99's, Radio Shack era, onto what I have now ASUS ROG Gaming Rig,

to spare the time of reading more, here, simply said,
16 is enough for most folks, however, as you know we do a lot more with our computers than ever before. I use off site back up program, and when it runs, it slows down my TRS-19, to the point some funny things occur, such as to the point I had to close the Program, due to some file locking issues etc.....
That was when I had 16 Gigs, of Ram, I went to 32 Gigs and never looked back.....Now Carbonite and TRS-19 play nice together most all the time, my rig is maxed at 32 Gigs, running M-2 SSD and Regular SSD drives.
So if you have the money, and you can find it on sale, I use Crucial memory, which is one of the best, Kingston is another......
The thing to think over is Wins and most other OS's such as MAC etc, have intensive File operations going on both under the hood, and whatever the user is doing combined., they need the room to spread their wings.......
Each Version of Software and the Motherboard etc, have their addressing limits of practical Ram, Hard Drive etc.......
So you just need to make sure your System can run with 32,,Some motherboards are limited to 16Gigs, you need to look at your MB specs to see it supports it, plus the version of Windows etc you are using. ( I see you are using Win10 same as me, so your good there)
