I recently installed another 8GB of RAM, but my computer isn't able to use it. Apparently, it's all "hardware reserved." I don't think that Windows 10 needs 8GB of RAM to run, and I would like to be able to use the memory I installed. Can anyone help?
My MB is the MS-7693 970 Gaming by MSI, and the memory in question is Corsair Vengeance (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)
