Open task manager, sort them by ram. Look at the top few that's not part of your system, and close them. Worse case just reopen them when you are done.

That being said, out of curiosity, what are you installing? What software need 8GB of ram to install.

This day was bound to come sooner or later. RAM requirements change from year to year, and that's nothing new. Now, the standard for gaming is 32 GB

Might be a Windows update running in the background or whatever you have running has a memory leak

RAM doesn't work like HDD/storage space.

Make sure your drivers are all current, sometimes they chew up RAM like mad when they’re not.

ctrl-shift-escape -> sort by Memory -> Kill non-essential processes like web browser/social media apps/other game launchers.

For me, firefox alone uses 2-3GB of memory; using multiple windows with dozens of tabs.

Just don't play that scam masquerading as a game, go play Destiny 2 or No Man's Sky instead.
