Windows has to use some of it. It's going to vary on whats available.

It is not uncommon for Windows 8.1 to utilize up to 2.5GB of RAM depending upon what is running in the background. You will never have 8GB Free.... Currently I have 3.5 of 15.9GB used - two browser windows and one remote desktop window running.
