Let me jump to the second question. You need to boot into your BIOS and change the Boot order so that your pc first would boot from the SSD. If you only have two working RAM slots, than you need to use the one works, probably with a higher RAM stick.

You need to make sure that the sticks of RAM are inserted in the slots that pair with each other. You should look at your MOBO's documentation about where to install the RAM sticks so that they would be paired correctly in their respective slots, e.g. DIMMA2 paired with DIMMB2.

There is a built in limit to how much RAM a System uses by default. The RAM limit is predetermined by the OS and this is why you only see 8GB, despite that you connected 16GB of RAM. Do not concern yourself about this issue.

It seems to me that your system drive, Primary Partition, is shared on 2 drives as it exists on both C and D, but the Boot, Page file and Active System are on different drives (Siamese twins). This can be the result of installing the Operating System while two drives were connected to your...

Hi! If you have a traditional hard disk, you can create a 500GB partition for the OS and install it, and then format the remaining free space for your other programs. You cannot copy the OS from one drive to another, so you have to install the OS again on the new drive. After that you can copy...

Since Solid States Drives became available, there have been many advices posted about how to extend the life of an SSD, particularly how to reduce the read and write cycles that wear out SSDs. The number 1 advice is to not assign any RAM to the SSD, which reduces the most read and write cycles...

I had a problem with the Windows updates last year. It crippled my System : AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor with Radeon Vega graphics, Windows 10 64 bit OS, Gigabyte AB350M Mobo, 8GB RAM. I had to uninstall the updates in Safe mode. Since then I am weary of the Windows October 2018 updates.

I found a solution and it worked for me. Let me know if you were successful in uninstalling Microsoft Edge with the directions posted at this URL: https://www.wintips.org/uninstall-reinstall-microsoft-edge/
