Hi I recently bought an HP Pavillion gaming laptop. Upon using it I found out that I could only use 5.9GB RAM out of 8GB.
About 2.1GB Ram is claimed by windows as hardware reserved
Based on the tasks that I do , for me every gigabyte of RAM is important
Can anyone tell me how to reclaim the hardware reserved memory ???
