You can always dual-boot if you want to use Linux but need Windows sometimes.

you're not wrong, I just never liked dual-boot.

Double your RAM, and then spin up a VM for windows.

i already have the max ram this laptop can support :c (8gb)

Are you sure? Often RAM support changes after later BIOS updates. And sometimes it’s undocumented but supports more than the specs say.

it's a limitation of the chipset, this laptop can only take 8gb of ram

also should mention that it's a dual core from 2010... I can't see that ending well ;p
