You don’t need to reverse engineer—see if there are tools to limit RAM usage or adjust system settings. There are third-party apps that can manage dwm, Windows Shell, Explorer, and control processes, but you’ll want to research their safety first.
It's referred to as "Windows 10 Lite," but it isn't an official distribution. You're handling this independently regarding the download. You're looking at the forum thread about a bloatware-free edition and another tool for cleanup. The recommended links provided are useful references.

On Windows 10, I’m using around 2 gigabytes while everything runs smoothly—no crashes or slowdowns. Cortana, Defender, all that works fine unless you tweak things yourself. If I can get my own version to run properly, I’ll share it. I’m cleaning up a lot of junk from an Enterprise Windows 10 LTS version, and my changes have reduced the size from 3.61 GB to about 2.5 GB. Still testing for stability. You mentioned you have around 8 gigabytes, but you’re really pushing the limit. 16 GB seems like a solid number for gaming nowadays on Windows 10.
Trying to stay friendly, but your system is pretty new and doesn’t work well with Windows 7. You’re stuck with limited RAM, and upgrading isn’t an option.
