I have 8gb ram, but only 6.95 usable, what should I do?
I tried msconfig.exe, didn't work.

Please post your entire system spec including RAM make and model.
Are you running any overclock at all?
By msconfig, what exactly did you change? This is just a run command.
Are you using integrated graphics? If so, this would use up the 1GB you are referring to.

I have GTX 1050ti, processor ryzen 5 2400g with Radeon Vega Graphics, windows 8.1, 64-bit, 8gb (6.95usable) ddr4 ram.
In msconfig I unchecked the "maximum memory"
