1. Windows is notorious for becoming more bloated over time running myriad unnecessary processes and accumulating tons of crap. For that, I suggest downloading a free app called "CCleaner", aka crap cleaner, to identify and remove a lot of this stuff. Clearing the laptop from running lots of CPU and memory consuming resources will help everything.
2. Use a small, dedicated to music playback streamer instead. General purpose computers are great for the many task they can perform but are constantly doing other things that take away their attention from job one. They also require more power which translates to increased noise. Both of mine operate in a 5V 1A environment which is next to nothing.
Adding more memory would simply be a band aid. The Raspberry Pi streamer I use in the garage system has 1 GB of memory, but a full 600 MB of that is used as a dedicated output buffer. While a Win10 box requires at least 1 GB to wake up and essentially do nothing, dedicated streamers really don't require that much to fully do their job.
