Windows 10: Installed RAM Memory Usable Issue

Need to know does 64GB of Installed RAM Memory is fully usable means Usable RAM should be 64GB or the usable RAM will be less than 64GB? My PC is being operated by Windows 10Pro 64 Bits.

Installed Memory(RAM)

Hi Jyotirmay,

Base on the screenshot you provided, it means you have a 3.5 GB usable memory out of the 4 GB memory installed. The amount of usable memory that you see is not exact amount. Usable memory is a calculated amount of the total physical memory minus "hardware
reserved" memory.

The reduction of the 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 that is installed
• Other system settings.

If you find that much of your RAM is regularly being used, consider adding more RAM if possible, especially if your PC only has 1 or 2 gigabytes (GB) of RAM. To learn more about what kind of RAM your PC model uses, first look at the memory info in Task Manager,
and then visit the PC manufacturer’s website for more specific info.

• Type of memory (RAM) PC uses
• RAM speed
• Memory slots used

Here’s some info about the minimum memory requirements for Windows 10:

• Windows 10 (32-bit) can run on a PC with 1 GB of RAM, but it runs better with 2 GB. For better performance, add memory so you have 3 GB or more.
• Windows 10 (64-bit) can run on a PC with 2 GB of RAM, but it runs better with 4 GB. For better performance, add memory so you have 6 GB or more.

16GB RAM only 8GB usable on Windows 10 x64

have 16GB of RAM installed on my computer, but only 8GB is usable. I am running Windows 10 x64. I have tried the following steps to fix this issue, but they have not worked:

1. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version.
   
2. I have tried reseating the RAM modules.
   
3. I have tried using different RAM modules.
   
4. I have tried run-MSConfig
   

I am still not able to use all 16GB of RAM. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

How do I find the Usable RAM on a Surface Laptop 2?

I need to be able to find out the "Usable RAM" on my Surface Laptop 2 in order to ensure it will be compatible with the download of some exam taking software. Under Device Specifications, it lists the Installed RAM as 8.00 GB, but no Usable RAM is listed (having done some brief research, Installed RAM and Usable RAM appear to be different). Under System Information, it states Total Physical Memory of 7.92 GB; is this what Usable RAM is? Under System Information, there is also Available Physical Memory, but the number of GB listed under Available Physical Memory varies with each program I open. I'd be very grateful for any guidance anyone can provide.
