How to reduce Hardware Reserved Memory in Windows 10 Pro

My system is running Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit. I have 32GB of installed memory, however Windows only reports that 15.9GB is "usable". The other 16.1GB is shown as "hardware reserved".

How can I reduce the "hardware reserved" and make more of my RAM "usable"?

 

How to reduce Hardware Reserved Memory in Windows 10 Pro

Hi Lmo,

You cannot release or use full of hardware reserved memory. The amount of usable memory in the examples are not exact amounts. Usable memory is a calculated amount of the total physical memory minus "hardware reserved" memory. Memory that is reserved
for use by the BIOS and some drivers for other peripherals. The reduction in available system memory depends on the configuration of the following:

• 
  The devices that are installed in the computer and the memory that is reserved by those devices.
  
• 
  The ability of the motherboard to handle memory.
  
• 
  The System BIOS version and settings.
  

You can also go to the below article and see more information.

Thank you.

If you feel comfortable doing your own system tweaking I would suggest this advice provided on this website: Top 10 Ways to Fix High RAM/CPU Memory Usage after Windows 10 Update | Drive The Life Do perform steps 1(return this registry "VALUE DATA") entry back to 0 after restart)thru 10, exclude step 2, as that is a download that you do not need at this time. After all that
go to trusted site by Black Viper for advice on your win 10 operating system Services configuration for normal ops and set your services according to Mister Vipers suggestions. His website is here: Black Vipers Windows 10 Service Configurations » Black Viper | www.blackviper.com Some of these suggestions if not down properly could render your operating system un-usable, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. However, I have used the advice given here and personally have not caused any problems to my own system and in fact this advice has significantly improved performance and reduced the load on memory to a negligible amount . Best of Luck.

I remember when 256Mb was a lot of ram and you could upgrade to 512 for about 150 bucks (maybe more). Just sayin.
