TL;DR Summary

Microsoft quietly removed its Windows Learning Center guidance that 32GB RAM was ideal for Windows 11 gaming and Copilot+ PCs as RAM prices rise, and started selling 8GB RAM Surface devices. The company has promised memory-optimization updates to make Windows 11 faster on 8GB RAM by the end of 2026, while Copilot+ branding continues to reference 16GB minimum. The move reflects ongoing memory shortages and a broader push to keep Windows 11 lean while memory costs stay high.
