Product: Compaq Presario laptop series V5000 , exct V5209US
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I have the same Bios, the F.24 that came with it. I was able to load somehow Windows 10,  32 bit.

It only has a current maximum of 2 Gigabytes of RAM.

I need 4 Gigabytes of Ram and the other benefits of the F.28 update.

I cannit  get it because my computer laptop is too old.

I love this computer and my late son used it before he tragicaly died 3 plus years ago at age 27.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.!

Thank you!

Sorry, but you can't have the benefits of 4GB of RAM and run Windows 32-bit because that OS limits the usable RAM to around 3.5GB. 

 

That is the limitation of using the 32-bit OS and there is no way around it.
