ive used photoshop on other laptops that used 4gb of ram so how can 8gb nt be enough?

How long ago was that & which version of PS?

I'm currently using CC 2017 on Win10, 64-bit with 32 GB of RAM. My OS alone eats up 3 GB of RAM, plus all the other apps I have opened at the same time. 8 GB would not get the job done without performance problems.

A lot depends on what you're trying to do in PS but IMO 8 GB of Ram is not enough.

How much physical space have you thrown at your scratch disk?

How much memory does your video card have?

Do you have the very latest graphics drivers?

How big are the files that you routinely work with?
