In preparation for a RAM upgrade, a technician wants to know how much physical memory the operating system can address. According to Microsoft specifications, what is the maximum amount of RAM that a 64-bit installation of Windows 10 Home can use?
Microsoft documentation lists a 128 GB ceiling for Windows 10 Home (64-bit). Higher editions raise this limit: Pro and Education support up to 2 TB, while Enterprise and Pro for Workstations can use as much as 6 TB. These limits are set by Microsoft licensing-not by the 64-bit architecture itself.
