    Win 10 Pro reporting low usable RAM vs installed RAM.

    I have 32gb of RAM installed. Sometimes Win 10 reports 24gb available other times it reports 16gb available. The installed RAM remains the same at 32gb. Sometime 8gb is hardware reserved and other times 16gb is hardware reserved. The fluctuation is annoying
    and 8-16gb for hardware reservation seems very excessive. It is a fresh install of Win 10 Pro 64-bit. What the heck is going on here?

    Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

    Hi There,

    I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

    • I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
    • physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it
    Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

    Thanks
