SOLVED 4 GB of RAM with 3.14 Usable?

[clifford_cooley]

So there is a chance you can back track and get a previous OS installed and activated again? Then go through the Windows 10 upgrade once more, to get it activated on Windows 10.

Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 10? If 32 bit, then I think you are near the maximum anyway.

I got my Windows 10 Activated by calling them and I have gotten a new stick and everything is fine, guess the old sticks and the new stick just werent compatible but it works now

Hi, I installed some RAM today and it was a 4 GB stick since I wanted 8, but it says 3.14 is usable now I would appreciate some help

Please help!

Most probably you have 32 bit version of windows installed on 64 bit hardware. You either can install the correct 64 bit version OR use one of those freeware virtual drive software to make use of the app. 800 mb of unused ram.

They may have sent the improper supported frequency (speed) for that motherboard.

I have had cases where the system will take the memory and boot properly, and Windows will accept and acknowledge the memory size, but mark it as unusable.
