I have an additional old PC I am using from time to time. the PC is running Windows 7 x32 Opening the " Computer Basic Information" I got: Installed Memory (RAM): 8GB (3.40 usable) What this means?
Not sure if it is something that would interest you but you could use some RAM Disk software to make use of the unused RAM. List of RAM drive software - Wikipedia Just a suggestion if you want to do something with that RAM. Might not be worth the effort. You can't upgrade to a 64 bit OS without having to lose your current installation. Or you can just ignore the whole thing and forget you saw my post.
0.6 is reserved and not accessible for any software. also the rest of 4gig - waste of memory, install windows 10 x64.
I don't think they are allowing free upgrades anymore. By the time you pay for the license you are half way to buying a new micro PC that would be a much bigger upgrade as far as hardware and software.
