Greetings people I was wondering if you consider as normal or an excess of RAM usage by the system to be using 1.7GB of RAM in idle with 21%.
The very least I have seen is 20% but occasionally I could see a maximum of 30% which equals 2.4GB of RAM.
I'm using Win10 64bits.
I added 12 pictures in the next link so you can see either Task manager or Resource monitor, so then would appreciate a lot if there is something additional I could do for optimizing as much as humanly possible the memory RAM usage since I can imagine everything loads faster when required for working. Just being a little enthusiast. Thanks by the way for all your info.

This is a totally normal state of operation. Windows is quite hungry for memory (in comparison to e.g. Linux). So something between 1.5 and 2 GB for a running Windows 10 system is completely usual, at least in my experience. Unless your system runs out of memory, the memory usage doesn't make much a difference, performance-wise. Furthermore, most graphical applications use plenty of memory these days, so even if you might free some additional hundred megs of RAM, this won't do much of a change.
If you still think your system is slow, look into other parameters. Most Windows systems I get to see are bloated with lots of software running in the background, most of which I'd consider ransomware. So check your installed applications in the Control Panel. Second, the Hard disk is often the bottleneck in today's computer systems. The CPU can't get to it's full potential, because reading files off the disk is slow as heck. So consider getting a SSD if you don't have one, it might boost your speed by multiples.
And if you feel like you're running out of memory too fast, then get more memory, instead of squeezing every last MB out of your idle ram usage. Even in portable computers, memory still tends to be replaceble / upgradable, and it doesn't cost too much.
