Windows boot animation lag

[HellChranos]

About 4-5 days ago, I bought a new Laptop(http://www.amazon.in/Acer-E5-572G-525V-NVIDIA®-GeForce®-Graphics/dp/B01N0DO8EX?ie=UTF8&keywords=Acer i5 940&qid=1482932904&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1).

Specs: i5 4210m, GTX 940m, 4GB RAM.

When running a few basic tasks(chrome, NZXT Cam, utorrent, copying files, etc) my RAM usage spikes upto 95%.(that's one of my issues)

I have also been getting api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll error which I tried to fix by installing Visual C++ 2015 but the installation failed at 90% and when I tried to reboot I experienced a terrible lag on windows boot animation (video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B75a6rqn51NGQVd0c0YzSEk3cnc/view?usp=sharing)

Then I tried to restore it to previous state, it worked once but then again I started to see the same thing again. I tried to run Windows memory diagnostics but it stopped at 21%.

Is there something I can do or should I return the laptop?

I'd say that is because it only has 4gb of ram, I think the recommended for regular usage is 8gb these days. Even for basic tasks.

After actually watching your video, It is not supposed to be like that even with low ram, If it were me I would at the very least return it and buy the same one. If you have an option to get something with 8gb thats what I'd recommend.

Well.. thank you.. I was also considering to replace it and aIso I have an additional 4GB stick so I was about to upgrade.
