Press Windows-X on your keyboard to open the power user menu. Select System. Find<\/strong> Installed Memory (RAM) under the System heading. The number listed is your installed RAM.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Another option to get there is by accessing the “System” settings and navigating down the page to “About”. On the About screen you should see information on device name, processor type and speed, installed RAM<\/strong>, device and product ID, whether it’s running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, and some miscellaneous data.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n RAM comes shaped in physical strips. Each strip has a set amount of memory storage space ranging from 2GB to 32GB. Most laptop’s motherboards come with 2 to 3 slots for RAM<\/strong>. If your laptop has 8GB of RAM, it probably uses<\/strong> two 4GB strips of RAM<\/strong> in separate slots.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You can check how much RAM your Windows PC has in a variety of quick ways. On Windows 10 and Windows 11, use the Task Manager. Right-click your taskbar at the bottom of the screen and select \u201cTask Manager\u201d or press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open it. Select the \u201cPerformance\u201d tab and choose \u201cMemory\u201d in the left pane.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On the command prompt screen, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacity, and press Enter. 3. Now some numbers will appear on the screen, which is the maximum supported RAM capacity in Kilobytes, convert the Kilobytes into Gigabytes using a calculator or Divide the numbers by 1024 two times. The results will appear.<\/p>\n Check RAM Type Checking RAM type, once you know the speeds you’re supposed to be looking for, is very easy. Open Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. Select memory from the column on the left, and look at the very top right. It will tell you how much RAM you have and what type it is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If you well optimized your system, windows 10 takes around 3.5GB for 8GB system. Around <=2GB for 4GB ram etc considering os in whole with its features.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To know if your laptop supports additional RAM, you can run software such as Crucial System Scanner or CPU-Z on your system. Both these software are available for free and they display information about your existing RAM and if extra RAM slots are present in your laptop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Check the motherboard’s documentation. Near the beginning of your motherboard’s documentation, you should be able to find a specifications chart or page. Look for the maximum amount of RAM or System Memory that can be installed. You will also see the number of available slots on your motherboard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n How does DDR4 differ from DDR3 in appearance? Physically, a DDR4 module, or dual in-line memory module (DIMM), looks very similar to a DDR3 DIMM. However, DDR4 has 288 pins compared with DDR3’s 240 pins; DDR4 SO-DIMMS have 260 pins instead of 204 in DDR3.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Windows 7 and Vista Press the Windows key , type Properties, and then press Enter . In the System Properties window, the Installed memory (RAM) entry displays the total amount of RAM installed in the computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In general, we recommend at least 4GB of RAM and think that most users will do well with 8GB. Choose 16GB or more if you’re a power user, if you run today’s most demanding games and applications, or if you simply want to make sure you’re covered for any future needs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 4GB RAM \u2013 A stable basis According to us, 4GB of memory is enough to run Windows 10 without too many problems. With this amount, running multiple (basic) applications at the same time is not a problem in most cases.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Press Windows-X on your keyboard to open the power user menu.
