2gb of the 8 are allocated for your integrated graphics so it shows that the CPU has 6gb to use.

Hi, @Ashokk7 

 

HP released this document a while back, which explains the memory shortage.

This seems to only apply to models with AMD Athlon/Ryzen 3xxx processors, such as your model.

Info on Microsoft PlayReady.
