Windows 10 Pro only reading 24 GB of 32 GB installed,
Ok so here's what I have done so far. 1) created a bootable USB with Windows 10(64 bit) upgrade 2) installed the upgrade successfully with no issues 3) when I check system info it shows only 24 GB of ram and 16 GB of this is "usable". However when I check the RAM limits on Windows 10 Pro it says 128 GB is the limit. 4) reverted back to 8.1 Pro and the ram shows all 32 GB as installed and usable , so this rules out a bad DIMM. I also checked through Speccy and it shows all 32 GB as installed and operating ( even when I was still running Windows 10 Pro).
So at this point I am totally confused as to what is happening with Windows 10 Pro not addressing all available RAM even though its clearly below the OS's limitations. It seems that there is either a physical addressing problem or the information they have provided as far as RAM limitations is extremely inaccurate.
I am wondering if I am the only person experiencing this issue or have others ran into it , and if so is there a workaround I have not thought of at this point( I have removed and re-seated all the RAM , they are a set of 4 8 GB sticks that came together so they are "paired".
