“I'm running Photoshop and Lightroom CC. It is sluggish when using both. If I go to 32gb will it be noticeably faster even running on a AMD Ryzen™ 5 processors. Not sure this was the right choice computer to run these programs. Thanks for your answer.”

Are you also running on 4k monitors? You can run task manager (The fastest way to open Task Manager in Windows 10 is to simultaneously press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys on your keyboard.) then look at the performance tab while you have both programs running. This will show you how much of the processor you are using and RAM. If the processor/CPU usage stays closed to 100% then it is probably your CPU struggling. If your RAM is close to 100% usage then you might could use some extra RAM. If you have 12 gb of ram, I think both of these programs recommend 8gb each. If you are also running 4k monitors then you need more ram for the built in Graphics chip to use b/c it is also using part of the 12gb of ram. Adding a more powerful graphics card might fix the issue too if this computer has a slot for that.
