Hi All

so i just finished building my first computer and started installing things.
asusx99-a, 5820k, 32GB 2800mhz

1st thing I noticed is, both BIOS and windows 7 (64) system are showing 32GB of memory, but when I open the task manager, it only shows 16GB, I heard someone saying windows 7 home can only use up 16 is this true?

thanks!

thanks! that 's.. hm... unfortunate.

and I suppose you don't get free upgrade to window 10 from 7 home?

hm.. probably I should buy a pro before install anything then..
