Re: Want to upgrade computer
I wasn't disputing that. I had the impression that Windows 10 doesn't use all 4GB, but a little less. I don't think this is because of Windows 10 per se. I think it has to do with how much memory

hardware is 32- or 64-bit) then it will not use more than 3Gbytes of RAM.
