16GB of RAM on notebook are not recognized? El Elfin21
Good laptop for photo editing and gaming? ya yareliAmira
Ram expansion leads to short black screens? co cotton273
I don't know too much about PCs etc., but my old "gaming laptop" is currently barely performing. So I "cleaned up" and freed up all sorts of memory and then found that only 3.22GB of my RAM is available. How come and how can I change that, or is that normal? Thanks in advance.
Do you have any other options how I could get something out of the laptop? Unfortunately, there's almost no decent game that runs smoothly on the lowest graphics settings.

You have to install 64 bit Windows, but you have 32 bit on it…
If you don't have any programs open how much RAM is used?
It is possible that your RAM is broken. You can see whether it is very expensive to change yourself.
Indeed it should be.
Normally the info should be under "System type" - but is not given here. For me it says "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor".
Isn't that so specified with 32-bit?
X64 yes whether 64 bit is also specified kp
Maybe it depends on the Windows version. 🤷♂️
Anyway: Let's wait and see if the questioner answers again…
I thought x86 was 64 bit? EDIT: Oops, it was the other way around. X86 is 32 bit
X86 = 32 bit processor, x64 = 64 bit processor.
Only: This information says nothing about the operating system.
You can of course run a 32-bit system on a 64-bit processor.
Only then will the maximum RAM be around 3 1/4 GB.
Does Windows 10 still exist with 32 bit? Not since the 2004 update at the latest? O.o
Still there, yes
