16gb of ram only using 14.1gb?

[Blankcaps]

So I watched videos from youtube on how to make pc faster. After that my pc only uses 2.08gb ram so I went back to msconfig to set my ram to maximum and advanced setting from properties of this pc. how do i set it to 16gb again?

You don't need to!

So long as you have 16GB of RAM installed on your motherboard, you'll have 16GB of RAM. No need to flick and switches or type in any numbers, it's all automatic.

You can verify all 16GB is detected from inside the Task Manager.

If you are using integrated graphics on an intel processor or an AMD APU, they both use some of your system RAM as it's own graphical RAM. The amount of allocated RAM can be changed in the computer's BIOS.

Just turn off your PC, and when it starts up, rapidly press Delete, F2 or F12. It varies.

Then there should be an option to change it.

Generaly if you want to make your PC faster, you upgrade components that cause performance issues.
Watching youtube videos is not a solution.

Post screenshot of msconfig settings, that you changed.

Sorry for the late reply. But it only says in the system is 14.1 gb usable? so should i leave it like that?
