Windows 10: Windows 10 only uses 16 GB from 32 GB

Hello, again!:
When I've received the PC it have 16 GB RAM HyperX Fury 2666 Mhz (2x8). And when I go to place another two dimms exactly than the previous, Windows 10 says that reserve 16 Gb for hardware.
I have detilded the square Total Memory in Msconfig, but nothing seems to work. I've changed the dimms to another slot, and still not working. I've also execute a Memory Text and no errors.
Do you any way to solve this trouble?

2 each 16 GB vs. 1 each 32 GB flash drive. Windows 10 OS

Have a failing Hard Drive. Will need a 32 GB flash drive to transfer the contents of the Hard Drive.

Question: Can I use my two 16 GB flash drives or must I purchase one 32 GB flash drive? Are you not suppose to switch

flash drives during the down load procedure?

Also, here on the forums am finding problems with failure to recognize a flash drive.

Do I need a 2.0 or 3.0 to down load my Windows 10 and other files?

Thank you for help provided by the community.

More than 6 GB of RAM of 16 GB missing

I have a fast W10 64bit 16GB RAM pc.

Task Manager shows me around 900 MB used for Me as as user, no other user accounts on the pc, the list I can see also adds up to around that, "Everything" taking around 470 MB, Antimalware 140 MB, Windows Explorer 42 MB, etc., it quickly goes down to processes
not using more than 5 MB, than 1 MB, and the list is not endless, I can clearly see (without adding one-by-one) that the about 870 MB my user account takes, according to the Task Manager, are more or less correct, certainly not above 1 GB, from 16.

According to the Task Manager, just 45 % of memory is free though:

182 Processes, 2680 Thread, 70,000 Handlers, CPU 1 %.

Available memory 7.3 GB of 15.9 GB = 45 %, this remains stable, before I start any other program.

In use (compressed) 6,9 GB (0 MB)

Committed 7.7 GB of 18.3 GB (my graphics card also has 2 GB, so this might explain the difference between 16 and 18.3).

Pages pool 184 MB

Non-pages pool 176 MB.

So does W10 64 bit really need, above the user account's less than 1 GB, another almost 7 GB, so that from my 16 GB, just 7.7 GB remain usable for my software (except for "Everything"'s 470 MB)?

I had installed, and de-installed (!), 2 RAM-Disks some weeks ago, and I don't see any residuals from them, but could them be the culprits? Wouldn't that be shown in the above numbers?

Is Windows really that bad, or might I have non-Windows problems on my pc?

I would purchase something even bigger, a 64 GB flash drive would be recommending. 16 GB or 32 GB is close to the edge.

It depends on your purpose and ports available, I would stick USB 2.0, although it is a bit slower.
