Windows 10 64-bit with 3 GB RAM

Hi LimerOS,

My name is Fernando. I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to guide you with your question on the Windows 10 on an older computer with 3 gb RAM.

Technically you might be in spec with 3 gb RAM.

Microsoft lists the Windows 10 minimum hardware requirements as:

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC.

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit.

Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS.

Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver.

Display: 800x600.

Coincidentally, I had a relative of mine on a budget that had 4 gb of RAM, but one of the 2 gb sticks when bad on it. I removed it and worked on her computer to clean it up. Although it was not the fastest computer, it definitely something she could work on
for basic computing and internet surfing.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes.

Respectfully,

Fernando Y.

 

2.5 GB usable out of 4 GB of ram

The documentation for your laptop says it has Intel® HD Graphics 3000 on the cpu die.

HP pavilion g6 1301tx laptop Specs

Intel i3 2350M CPU

There is further confusion between desktops and laptops. Some information on questions about, "What is 'Dedicated" graphics' on laptops" produce answers that the dedicated ram is dedicated to a gpu card. I believe the confusing revolves around the fact that a 'Dedicated' GPU graphics card has its own dedicated RAM and some assume that this means the same thing with laptops and that the word 'Dedicated' always means the same and implies a gpu card. Information suggests that in laptops just as in desktops, some system RAM can be 'Dedicated' to the graphics as apposed to being dynamic or allocated dynamically and some manufacturers actually call this 'Dedicated RAM' .

It appears that the graphics on your system does 'Dedicate' 1GB of RAM solely to the graphics.

Some systems have the ability to allocate system RAM to the graphics. Some older systems called this 'Video Aperture" in the BIOS. You can change this setting to normally 3-4 different settings. For instance, older systems that could only use a maximum of 4GB of RAM could be set at 64MB, 128MB, 256MB or 512MB.

This may help figure out for sure what your system is using:

Display adapter method
To view your computer's maximum graphics memory:

1. Right-click the desktop.
   
2. Select the option for Screen Resolution.
   
3. Open the link for Advanced Settings.
   
4. The total available graphics memory is listed under Adapter
   Information in the Adapter tab.
   

Figure 1: Graphics Memory View from Adapter Tab
in the Adapter tab.

"Dedicated Video Memory" is what is set in your system settings in setup before your system boots

"Shared System Memory is additional RAM that can be allocated dynamically at the will of the OS

"Total Available Graphics Memory" is the total of the two mentioned abov added together

"System Video Memory" May be '0' but would show vedio memory that is 'Dedicated' on a gpu card.

Intel Graphics sometimes has a graphics Control Panel that can be accessed by pressing Ctrl Alt F12 which will give you similar information and possibly a way to adjust and control minimum and maximum dynamic vram.
