What is the model of your computer? I pretty much tell anyone that they should have at least 8GB of RAM if they are running Windows 10. As long as you have a compatible processor, upgrading to ten will be worth it, if you want to hold off on getting a new Windows 11 machine. But you do have to check compatibility with your specific computer.

You can go to the Lenovo support site and see if it has any updated info on your computer's compatibility with 10.
