4GB ram or 8GB ram surface go?

Hi I am a student, and I purchased the surface go 4gb ram model. I really like the product as it's lightweight and suits my needs, but I am wondering if paying 150 more for 8gb of ram is really necessary. I only use the product for HW, occasionally some light gaming, reading and watching movies/videos. It is my main device but I am a minimalist. Would you say it is good enough for me? And how long do you think it would last me for in comparison to the 8gb model? Thank you.

Phone locked and needs a recovery key and got in trouble trying to provide on.

Here is the sequence of events that got me into trouble which I have not been able to fix:
1. My Windows 10 Nokia 640 XL got to internal memory limit and would not let me get to apps to delete emails to get the phone to work properly
2. Tried to solve by doing a soft reset (did not work) so did a hard reset
3. When I tried to bring the phone up after the hard reset it asked for a recovery key or "to sign in to my account". I tried to sign in to my account but it said the reset protection was on and it needed to be turn it off. Could not do it via the phone since it was a brick.
4. Signed into my MS account via desk unit and there was my phone but no way to find recovery key as many web solutions said.
5. One solution said that if I deleted the phone it would give me access to the recovery key. I deleted the phone and there was no recovery key shown.

I have read multiple solutions which don't seem to work and have talked and chatted with Microsoft people but they keep referring me to links which I have already reviewed. They also referred me to a company who suppose to now handle phone technical questions but when I try to sign in it tells me my phone number is not correct. I did pick United States as my country.

So now my phone is a brick and I don't have the phone in my account so I can try to figure out how to get the recovery key. Any help appreciated.

RAGE 2 is a carnival of carnage fans of DOOM won't want to miss

RAGE 2 is an upcoming dream collaboration between id Software and Avalanche. The result is a circus of mayhem fans of DOOM or Just Cause can't afford to miss.

RAGE 2 is the unexpected sequel to 2010's post-apocalyptic shooter from id Software. RAGE 2 takes place decades after its predecessor, following a global catastrophe. An asteroid impact has wiped out virtually all civilization, leaving earth in a dilapidated state. Many of the survivors banded together to form enclaves, some passive, others violent, as lawlessness and chaos grip the land.
RAGE owes a little more to Mad Max than some of the other post-apocalyptic titles out there, due to its focus on wasteland vehicular combat. To continue that tradition, id Software enlisted the aid of Avalanche Studios, known for its chaotic sandboxes like Just Cause and the criminally underrated take on the Mad Max universe, which in my opinion, has the best vehicular combat in an open world game, maybe ever.
We went hands-on with RAGE 2 at Gamescom 2018, and we talked to id Software Studio Director Tim Willits and Senior Game Designer Loke Wallmo from Avalanche Studios.
