Three D... Not sure if people get updates on old parts but... Just an update:

You were right. Upgraded old computer... Everything was good so FINALLY upgraded my main rig.

All apps working and total of 32 GB of usable RAM.

thanks]]> Wed, 13 Nov 2019 06:59:09 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=69882&title=upgrading-ram#69882 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=67501&title=upgrading-ram#67501 Author: ThreeDee

VM=Virtual Machine .. so you could run a different OS inside a VM or the like.

Glad it's working good for you now! ... I have a buddy here that is still running 8.1 that I told him I'd install 10 for him ..but he's still dragging his feet ]]> Wed, 04 Sep 2019 00:47:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=67501&title=upgrading-ram#67501 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=67496&title=upgrading-ram#67496 Author: Blacksaturn77

Three Dee...thanks.

Upgraded my old 8.1 (which WOULDN'T run my apps) to windows 10. Everything running as normal.

Gonna play on there for a month or so, to make sure nothing funny happens, then make the switch on my MAIN rig.



Ps
What's a VM (virtual mode?)]]> Tue, 03 Sep 2019 23:22:00 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=67496&title=upgrading-ram#67496 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=67139&title=upgrading-ram#67139 Author: Ray62

I never used Win7 Home, always Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate, so i also was not aware of the limits:
Windows 7 Home Basic 8GB
Windows 7 Home Premium 16 GB

Back up your stuff .. install Windows 10 and then install whatever software that you think might not work and see if does .. or if you have a buddy you could try an install on ... or you could run Windows 7 in a VM]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2019 11:14:39 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66847&title=upgrading-ram#66847 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66845&title=upgrading-ram#66845 Author: Blacksaturn77

Yeah, I would've done that but the primary reason i went ahead and built a windows7 machine is because my store bought windows 10 (or maybe it was 8.1) machine would not allow me to run some of my graphic design software on it... "for some reason".

I'm afraid of running into the same issue. ]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2019 10:11:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66845&title=upgrading-ram#66845 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66844&title=upgrading-ram#66844 Author: ThreeDee

...for the record.. you really should use your valid Win7 key and install Windows 10 X64 v1903 (May update) to best utilize your Ryzen based setup.]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2019 10:05:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66843&title=upgrading-ram#66843 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66842&title=upgrading-ram#66842 Author: Blacksaturn77

Three Dee,

Good Call. Looking around and it looks like that may be the case. Was my first build and it never occurred to me that an OS would have any such limit.

SUX, but at least i know... THANKS]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2019 10:03:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12209&PID=66842&title=upgrading-ram#66842
