Discover how to increase your computer’s RAM memory capacity using this trick in CMD

Your computer may have been fast when you bought it, however, over time it may slow down. This could be because as time goes on, newer versions of the applications we use become more demanding, causing the computer’s random access memory (RAM) to fall short due to the programs it runs. The solution is to increase the available RAM, but in addition to knowing the model, we must find out the maximum supported by your computer.

To achieve this, we do not need to install any additional software, but we will get the information from a command entered in the CMD command prompt.
To start, press the Windows + R keys and in the pop-up window, type CMD and press Enter.
It will immediately open a command prompt window where you should paste the following command: wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

The data sample will appear where the final value is given in kilobytes, which can be converted to gigabytes (divide the value by 1048576 to convert kilobytes to gigabytes).

The example above shows that the maximum RAM capacity is 8 gigabytes. If the motherboard has two memory slots, this means that the maximum RAM capacity for each slot is 8/2 = 4 gigabytes.
This way, you will know how much you can expand the RAM of your computer.
