Windows 10: HELP PLEASE - Would my Windows 10 laptop work better with 16gb ram + 4gb soldered on or...

I'm not too certain but I've heard that if the Ram sticks are of the same capacity and frequency, they run in dual channel, but that only gives me 8gb.

But I'm not sure if 16gb + 4gb will work!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

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

 

increase RAM 4.0GB

IT DEPENDS upon laptop motherboard configurations , its better to contact the laptop manufacturer.

Some laptops have one one slot soldered with ram , so it cannot be removed .

some laptops have two slots , one is soldered , other is free .

some laptops comes with both solts are free to replace ram .

But maximum ram supported up to 8gb or 16gb

 

Upgrading RAM to 12GB or 16GB?

Hi everyone:

I have this machine:

Intel DB75EN...........it has 8GB of DDR3 RAM..... it's an older i5-2400 at 3ghz.

I acidentally (nice) discovered there's still a chance to improve RAM...I can't buy or afford a newer PC.

Amazon has Crucial DDR3 and they fit my machine in the specs checker they have.

I recently added an Crucial SSD and have Windows 10 installed there. It boots better and folders open faster than the HDD.

However, apps aren't faster at all. Just Windows.

The machine has 2 sticks of 4GB installed which make the 8GB. Going from 8GB to 12GB........will it make a difference?

Or it's better to go to 16GB?.

If I could I would to go to 32GB.......the machine specs says it supports up to 32GB RAM (however I can't afford it), since they're DDR3, they are older and are NOT cheap. I can only afford up to 16GB.

Should I make the effort to get 16GB or will 12GB be good?

Thanks so much for your suggestions.
