I would like to know how much RAM you have on your system. I used to run NetBeans 8.2 on a Windows 8 computer with 4 GB RAM and that was enough at first, but later on it wasn't. I never dared install IntelliJ IDEA on that computer. In my experience, 8 GB RAM for NetBeans 12.6 running Java 8 on Windows 10 is almost always sufficient (though it's woefully inadequate for trying to run Zoom and VS Code at the same time).
By the way, I was stuck on NetBeans 11.2 at the start of the pandemic. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I upgraded to 12.6. I'm pretty sure I did nothing "manually," I just let the installation wizard do its thing and I haven't had any problem working on any of my projects that I started in 8.2, 11.1 or 11.2. I haven't yet started any projects in 12.6. Also, I had a set up for C++ and Fortran in 11.2 and I haven't checked if that's available in my 12.6 installation. So it might be pertinent for you to mention if you use NetBeans for anything besides Java.
