For Windows 10, 4 GB of RAM is fine, but it uses up the paging file (virtual memory on disk) to death.
It is only by going to a minimum of 8 GB that you can transfer the SWAP file, which increases the responsiveness of the PC but somewhat limits the use of applications that are very hungry in RAM (which said Chrome ? ) such as watching a movie in 4k (lived experience, a few years ago when the GPU did not decode 4k well)
A few tens of € to avoid losing your data and spending many hours rebuilding your OS + all the installed applications + setting them up, I think it's really worth it!
And then the RAM is also used if you want to install VMs (virtual machine with another OS, like Android to run games on your PC) or a docker client (free under WIN 10) allowing for example to install licenses free of BDD, a WEB site, ... that we can start, stop or delete in 2 seconds!
