Windows 10 launched in 2015, and Microsoft continued working on the build versions and added multiple features. We have noticed that the 10th edition never been the same, and new features came with potential. However, Windows 10 has gotten heavier and started adding load on CPU, RAM, and GPU. You cannot run the latest Microsoft operating system smoothly on 8.1 Pro pre-installed machines without certain performance compromises.
Most of the budget-oriented laptops or mid-range business laptops came with 4 GB RAM variants. We have always been vocal about the system requirements, and you need 4 GB RAM for 32-bit, and 8 GB RAM for 64-bit to run Windows 10 smoothly.

What is Sordum Reduce Memory?
Microsoft worked on RAM management, but it isn’t enough for the majority of the older laptops and desktops. Sordum is a software company that launched the “Reduce Memory” program for Windows 10/8.1/7/Vista/XP. The Reduce Memory designed to reduce RAM consumption and give your machine more memory to utilize. Of course, it is a great advantage to save your money that could end up in upgrades. Let us look at Sordum’s solution and see if it is worth trying on your Windows PC.
1. Safe-to-use
Microsoft does not recommend system administrators to use non-verified publisher programs, and we cannot debate it. The Sordum Reduce Memory is available in the free-to-use category, but it is not publisher verified, and that could lead to some doubts. However, we ran Virus Total by uploading the executable program, and it declared the program safe & secure.
2. User-friendly Interface
The developer Sordum invested a lot of time in mapping the structure of the program and ensured minimalist design. You don’t have to be a tech-savvy individual to use the solution because it has a minimalist design and takes less than two minutes to figure out the options. We have covered everything that you need to know about Reduction Memory. Readers have to spend less than five minutes to figure out the options and start using it effectively.
3. Reduction Memory 32-bit/64-bit
Sordum mentioned that the solution is compatibility starts from Windows XP. The XP edition generation consists of 32-bit and 64-bit, whereas, system administrators are going with 64-bit due to higher RAM support. Fortunately, you got a solution that will work flawlessly on 32-bit & 64-bit, and it is bundled in the same package.
4. Eliminates Background Processes
We wanted to know what does this program does to free RAM in Windows, and we figured it out. Microsoft runs plenty of services in the background and keeps unnecessary services open in the background. Readers have to set the timer from 5 seconds to 12 seconds, and it will keep looking for unnecessary background programs & services and eliminates it.
My Windows 10 is running a laptop equipped with a 4 GB RAM module with 3.5 GB usable. Sordum solution saved 75 MB – 100 MB RAM from killing the background apps and services, which is a good number. The small number makes a huge difference in junk-filled computers because my machine is optimized, and does not have bloatware.
