how to upgrade Ram from 8 to 16 gb?

Hey Madan. This is not a Windows issue or Microsoft issue but I'll try to help.

To go from 8 GB RAM to 16 GB. You will have to actually purchase COMPATIBLE 16 GB sticks of RAM then install them. Dell Inspiron might have more information on what kind of RAM is compatible with your PC.

Getting more RAM is not a simple troubleshooting fix and if you are on a laptop, it might be impossible.

 

Upgrading to 32 GB RAM

Hi thanks for the reply, I did that, now I have 48GB RAM so far the system is stable but the only thing I have found is that rebooting is taking long but I will do a fresh install of Windows 10 and maybe it will get fixed

Thank you all for the replies , first i added my new sticks and remove my other two 8 GB sticks but now i added them back which I have 48 Gb .8 / 16 / 8 / 16. the only issue i have is that rebooting is taking long but the shutdown is fast and boot up the same but I am going to do a fresh install of windows 10 and see if it fixes the issue, if not i will remove my two 8GB rams and stick with my new two 16GB (32GB) RAM.
