Knowing how much memory, or RAM, that your PC has can help you better plan which applications to install and use. Here's how to find out.
You can only know if you have enough RAM , if you know how to check how much you have. Fortunately, doing so is super quick and easy and then you can decide whether you want to upgrade your memory -- here's how to choose new memory sticks -- or whether you have enough for what you need to do.
Note: The screenshots below are for Windows 11, and though Windows 10 looks different, the steps are identical. Step 2: The Overview tab should be selected by default. The amount of installed RAM will be displayed next to Memory. Step 3: The amount of RAM in your PC will be listed next to MemTotal, in kilobytes . Divide by 1,048,576 to get the amount in gigabytes that's not being used by the Chrome OS system, then round up to get the amount of installed RAM. For example, the Chromebook used in this how-to shows 16248736kB. When divided by 1,048,567, the result is 15.59GB. Round that up to 16GB, which is the amount I already know is installed in the laptop.
