Windows often uses 8GB at idle for me with a single browser window open due to how much background BS it runs that is entirely irrelevant to anything I use the PC for. I upgraded to 32GB, then just finally decided to switch to Linux for good because it uses around 4-5GB with 10+ programs open (and most of that is Steam and Discord being inefficient).
Windows tends to use at least a quarter of system ram anyways
As long as you got enough storage for page fileing you should be aokay at least in my experience
I had about 16TB of total storage when it was using that much RAM. It still didn't like it.
