This is the second time Microsoft has recommended a PC configuration with 32 GB of RAM as optimal for gaming in its “Learning Center” documents – and the second time it has removed the recommendation after public exposure. Both times, the interesting recommendations were found and published by Windows Latest.

Microsoft’s “Learning Center” publishes guides and articles describing various Windows features. As the publication notes, they rank well in search results, and Microsoft mostly uses the site to promote its own theses and guide users’ choices when searching for answers online.

In early April, the Windows maker published a document called “Gaming Features: What the Best Windows PC Gaming Systems Have in Common.” It highlighted the operating system’s gaming capabilities, as well as recommended PC configurations for gaming.
