Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro 21H2 not using all available ram

Dion Jensen · Mar 2, 2022

I have a desktop computer that has 32gb ram, and had worked without issue on windows 10 pro, but ever since I upgraded to windows 11 pro it just shows it as "32,0 GB 15,9 GB usable".So it can clearly see that there is 32gb of ram 2x16gb sticks, but for some odd reason it is not able to use them all.I've updated the bios to one that has windows 11 support, Motherboard is MSI X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI MS-7C37, and now runs 7C37v1G version of the bios which lists windows 11 support.I've tried the msconfig change to sex maximum memory, it also properly detects and fills out the full size, but af

Windows 11 compatible but not even offered 21H2??

I have an HP desktop PC and a DELL laptop and both are suitable for Windows 11 although it has not been offered as yet. Both machines have received the latest Windows updates and are on Windows 10 version 21H1 build 1288.

I am not interested in upgrading to Windows 11 but, if the machines are suitable for Windows 11, why aren’t my machines being offered the upgrade to version 21H2?

Are there issues with 21H2 that caused Microsoft to put an upgrade block on it?

I am happy with version 21H1 and I assume I will not be offered the upgrade to Windows 11 until version 21H2 is installed. Am I right in this assumption?

Thanks.

Commercial previews Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 21H2 available

Commercial organizations can now explore and validate Windows 11 and Windows 10, version 21H2 that will be released later this year.

Today, we released Windows 11 and the Windows 10, version 21H2 feature update for commercial preview. Organizations enrolled in the Windows Insider Program for Business can access these builds through all standard channels, including Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Azure Marketplace, and the Windows Insider Program ISO download page. Along with commercial pre-release availability, we are also offering free support for commercial organizations running these builds. This means you can test these releases—and your preferred deployment methods—while remaining supported prior to general availability.

Access commercial previews using Windows Update or Windows Update for Business

Commercial devices configured for the Windows Insider Program Release Preview Channel via the Windows Update Settings page or via Windows Update for Business policy will automatically be offered Windows 11 as an optional upgrade provided that the device(s) meet the hardware requirements and have taken the September 1, 2021 optional cumulative update (KB5005101). If you do not wish to upgrade a device to Windows 11, simply select “Stay on Windows 10 for now”, at which point Windows 10, version 21H2 will be offered instead. Commercial devices in the Release Preview Channel that do not meet the hardware requirements necessary to support Windows 11 will be offered Windows 10, version 21H2 automatically instead.

Both previews are completely optional. You can choose to remain on your current version of Windows and continue to receive preview builds of quality updates for that version.

The Windows Update interface showing that upgrade to Windows 11 is ready and free.

If you are using MEM Intune, simply set “Servicing channel” to “Windows Insider – Release Preview”:

Setting Servicing channel to Windows Insider - Release Preview

Note: We consider a device a commercial device if: a) it is not running Windows 10 Home edition; b) it is being managed by an IT administrator (whether via Microsoft Endpoint Manager or other endpoint management solution); or c) it has a volume license key or commercial ID, or is joined to a domain.

Access commercial previews using Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)

Both Windows 11 and Windows 10, version 21H2 are now available in the “Windows Insider Pre-release” category in WSUS and Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) Configuration Manager. If you do not see them offered, simply sync the category and you will see them.

Windows 11 and Windows 10, version 21H2 are now available

To access the Windows 11 preview build, devices must first take the September 1, 2021 optional cumulative update (KB 5005101). If a device is configured to send diagnostic data, but does not meet the hardware requirements, the Windows 11 upgrade will be marked as inapplicable in WSUS.

To access the Windows 10, version 21H2 preview build, devices running Windows 10, version 2004, version 20H2, or version 21H1 can leverage the enablement package path to update to version 21H2. Devices running versions prior to Windows 10, version 2004 will first need to do a full OS swap to receive Windows 10, version 21H2.

Access commercial previews from the Windows Insider Program ISO Download page

Simply go to the Windows Insider Program ISO Downloads site and select either the Windows 11 ISO (listed under Dev Channel and Beta Channel) or the Windows 10, version 21H2 ISO (listed under the Release Preview Channel).

Note: A clean installation will utilize your existing Windows 10 license keys or activate using Azure AD. No net new Windows 11 keys are required.

Access commercial previews through Azure Marketplace

On Azure Marketplace, we have added a new Windows 11 Preview offering with various images. For Windows 10, version 21H2, simply check out the Windows 10 Preview offering.
