    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 at 6:15pm
Hey guys, I have scrounged google for any answers to my situation. Unfortunately I am either too dumb or unable to find any information relevant to my situation.

I bought the level 1 Lynx in November. However, I have noticed that I have 8GB of RAM but it says only 2GB are available. I never gave it much thought until my friend mentioned it to me earlier today.

Is there an issue with the PC? Or is that how it is supposed to be? Full disclaimer, I know absolutely nothing about PCs and its hardware so be gentle with me, thanks.

Not how it's supposed to be. It's unlikely to be a hardware issue, but more likely you are experiencing memory leakage from some programs and Windows processes running in the background.

Google "memory leak Windows 10" and start the learning process! It will be good for you to see the ways this can happen and how to fix it. Good luck!

PS: I don't recommend you use any 3rd party software that promises to fix this. It's easy enough to do yourself, and you maintain control of what's going on.

Hey there, I followed some youtube videos and I got it up to 5.9gb available with the rest being "hardware-reserved". Is that normal?

Now you have 5.9GB available for multi-tasking, multiple open internet tabs, and gaming. Works for me!
