  2. 3.46G Usable instead of 6 gb ram

    Previously, I have installed 32 bit version of Windows 10 when my ram is 4 gb (1.71gb Usable), after it, I installed 64 bit version of windows but the usable ram is not icreasing. I upgraded the ram to 6gb but the usable ram is 3.46g, I want to increase
    the usable RAM size, anyway?

  3. 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,

  4. Why is 6 gigabytes of ram usable instead of 8?

    4 gigabytes of RAM, 3.47 usable, now only 2.99!

    Hi all,

    I recently got a new computer and upgraded to Windows 10. When I got it, it had 3.4 gigabytes of USABLE RAM. But when I went to check it again, a week or so later, it had 2.99 gigabytes. I am sure that I checked in right when I had 3.47 gigabytes.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thanks!

    EDIT- I have Windows 10 home 64 bit
