I have an old laptop with 2GB Ram and there I'm considering upgrading from xp / vista to windows 10 (clean install). Now my only question would be, how much ram does Windows 10 32bit take after the reinstallation? Since Office also wants to be opened, as well as sometimes a browser.
Windows 10 32bit no longer exists.
But I would advise against Win10 with 2GB RAM anyway. Whether 32bit or not. You have no fun with that. I think you should get a new device.
I didn't know that, but I find it good and useful.
About 3GB and then graphics memory.
more than 4GB are not possible anyway because of the address space.
?
You can already calculate, right? 😅
32 bit no longer exist, but I can tell you from my own experience that Windows 10 child. It takes 4GB RAM to work reasonably well.
I feel the same way. Nowadays 32bit doesn't make any sense. If only because no more than 4GB RAM is possible…
Bad… That leaves windows 7 … Otherwise 4GB Ram and Windows 10 64bit
Before you assume that you can't count on me, please read this

Was partially correct… With 4GB the 3GB takes. But with 2GB it can logically not take 3GB. But it takes too much to run well… So don't do it. It will snap the entire 2 GB down to maybe 200 MB… You won't be able to work with it.
However, this is not due to the 32 bit. But a few other nonsense by the processor manufacturer.
On the one hand, a 32-bit address bus can be used to represent 4,294,967,296 32-bit words; since one byte consists of 8 bits, this is 17,179,869,184 bytes, i.e. H. 16 GiByte.
On the other hand, the 8-bit processors had 16-bit address buses, so there's no reason not to make the address bus wider than the data bus.
I know that (this is also in my answer). I'm a computer scientist.
But how should Windows use 3GB when there are only 2GB.
I meant counting. Read the question.
Yes, theoretically nothing speaks against it, but you need certain hardware. I don't think the questioner has it.
But of course you are absolutely right.
