Hi David, With a new desktop with the specs you have indicated, updating RAM to 64GB would give you almost instant opening of programs, as most recent memory is held in RAM for faster access.
I have a six-year-old home-built desktop with slightly older specs, but have 64 GB Ram, My legacy file is just over 10,000 individuals and have My Heritage, FTM, numerous Word and Excel documents loading and running simultaneously every day with no problems loading any program at first start of day.

It's quite disconcerting when it happens, especially as this machine should be (and is) an absolute flyer. My old desktop clunker was getting a bit long in the tooth, so the guts of my upgrade is: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB, M.2 NVMe 32 GB RAM Windows 11 Home, Ver. 23H2, 64 bit Legacy 9.0.0.443 with 10,000 names I'm reaching out to see what others think of this, and I wondering the obvious simple thing, like, is it an issue of a lack of memory ? Should I double it to 64 GB ? Or make the RAM larger ? The re-install of Legacy went fine, and without issue, and I continue to carry on my research, do backups, and the odd bit of editing. As I said after the first start of Legacy, all's well, and I can work away all day if I like. I thought there might be a slim chance this issue has been dealt with before and resolved by a simple tweak, so I'd love to hear the technical types throw their solutions my way.
