I apparently have a massive memory like on my upgraded Windows 10 system. I have seen "System" (PID 4) slowly use more and more RAM. My "NT Kernal & System" has already used more than 5GB of RAM. Attached I have my poolmon data, however I do not know how to interpret it.

It usually asociated with drivers. Try typing this in Command Prompt(run as administrator),
cd drivers
then
findstr /s [tag name] *.*
Then wait for a few sec. it will show the name of the *.sys file(s). find it in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers . Check its properties. You'll get info about what driver associated with this file. Update that driver
Hope it helps, cos I got the same problem. Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you for your response. I have already tried this and just tried it again except every time I do findstr in the drivers folder, it runs forever and does not stop. – Stephen Cioffi – 2015-08-12T19:40:08.073
Don't worry about it. There is nothing in the poolmon output that indicates excessive pool usage. – Jamie Hanrahan – 2015-09-28T16:09:51.417

You have a lot of other software that uses a lot of RAM.

See if RAMMap helps spot the offending program – Moab – 2015-08-05T00:36:22.413
@Moab Thank you for your reply. I tried running RAMMap however it does not appear to run on Windows 10. Thank you anyway. – Stephen Cioffi – 2015-08-05T03:49:29.253
try task manager, look for an entry that memory usage climbs. – Moab – 2015-08-05T21:29:52.167
@Moab The entry is "System"/"NT Kernal & System" – Stephen Cioffi – 2015-08-06T01:02:55.607
I would clean install Windows 10. – Moab – 2015-08-06T02:27:43.400
