Actually window will show less RAM than what is installed on board. The windows pc actually shows the usable quantity, for instance if you have installed a 8GB of RAM on pc then the windows shows it as 7.1 GB. This means that usable space on the RAM.

this is from microsoft website, about what task manager shows you about ram:
"Three advanced tables below the graphs list various details about memory and resource usage. Under Physical Memory (MB), Total is the amount of RAM installed on your computer, listed in megabytes (MB). Cached refers to the amount of physical memory used recently for system resources. Available is the amount of memory that's immediately available for use by processes, drivers, or the operating system. Free is the amount of memory that is currently unused or doesn't contain useful information (unlike cached files, which do contain useful information)."

First of all, you are not allowed to share your personal info like email on this site's forums.
What do you mean by usable memory? If you have 8 GB of RAM installed, your pc will be using all of it. Please elaborate more of what you mean by that.

What it shows as installed is what is usable, unless some is appropriated by a different device, in which case it will provide an amount of USABLE - i.e. the Video card sharing DRAM....In task manager it will show what is available and be less because you are already using DRAM for OS and even the task manager app
