    Hardware reserve memory


    I am using a Ryzen 5 3500u processor with Windows 10

    As per the specification RAM 8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM onboard


    for Hard Drive: 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD


    I see 2.1 GB as memory reserve for Hardware. the manufacturer HP says this how the product has been manufactured. But i have that such a high reserve memory is required and it cannot be brought down.

    I wish to know if there is any way I can bring down the reserve so that more memory becomes available for use.

    Hardware reserved memory

    Got that Nikola. The error you are getting which is the "hardware reserved" is almost related to BIOS. Since the previous steps did not work, let us check if the steps below will make any difference on the issue:

    1. Delete some files that you are no longer using.

    2. Re-instate the old BIOS. If it is still not working, install the newer BIOS instead.

    3. Check possible issues with the physical RAM. Check whether you have bad memory modules and if standoff cards are used. Make sure that the memory arrangement is correct.

    Let us know if there's any changes.

    Thank you.

  3. System Reserved Memory issue

    Hi Rowan,

    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
    • The version of Windows 10 that is installed
    • Other system settings

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest that you check your system for memory problems.

    Here's how:

    • Type mdsched.exe in the search bar and select the best match.
    • When prompted by the User Account Control, enter an admin user name and password, and click
      Yes.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to run it.

    Let us know how it goes.

    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.
