I am using Windows 10 64-bit that was a free upgrade from win 7 ultimate also 64-bit. I was using 3gb of ram and upgraded to 4gb, but task manager says that only 3,2gb is usable and i tried msconfig maximum memory but didn't work. I also checked in the BIOS that it was there, and it was, my CPU is a Q6600 so there isn't any integrated GPU problem, and the board is an Asrock G31M-S with p2.10 bios. Performance Monitor says that 833Mb are dedicated for hardware.

In Windows 10, Cortana uses quite a bit of memory along with other Windows 10 functions. This is why you will not get max. memory even when you correctly set the physical memory to the max in msconfig.

Based on your motherboard and CPU, you may add more RAM in order to increase the physical memory.

Since I live in Hungary I do not even have the option to enable Cortana.

This problem was solved... a long time ago, I forgot to update here because it was answered on the linustechtips forum. All I had to do is reinstall windows and enable the memory remap feature, so it wasn't hardware, it was windows messing up.
