Have you ever thought about upgrading your PC RAM to larger capacity? The larger capacity of the memory, the more programs your PC can run at the same time. But what is the maximum RAM capacity of your PC? You don’t need to search your PC model on the internet for the answer. Let us show you how to check it conveniently.
Step 1. Open Run by pressing Windows key + R. Then insert cmd and press Enter.
Step 2. Copy the command - wmic memphysical get maxcapacity to the Command Prompt window and press Enter. Then you will see the maximum capacity of RAM is shown below.
The Last Step. Convert kilobytes to gigabytes.

Output of it is and then when I divide by 1024 twice it says.. 64 GB, but my manufacturer says 16GB is max support.
I have asus vivobook 14 x1404va… i3-1315u,
it has 8GB currently and have one slot available…. so I wanted to have 16gb but with the above I think I can upgrade to 32gb…… any suggestion should I go ahead ?

MaxCapacity
67108864
I have a result 67108864/1024=65 so I have 65 ram capacity? but I check my laptop capacity in website the laptop only support 32gb? why is that?
After checking the maximum RAM capacity, one needs to open up the computer (especially laptop) to check if RAM slots are actually available. Some laptop manufacturers Solder their RAM. In their case, they have taken away the ability of the user to upgrade their RAM that the motherboard maker had given.
If RAM slots are available and there is discrepancy between what the manufacturer says and what the CMD command says, then go with CMD command. I had an old DELL laptop. according to DELL, it supported maximum of 8 GM, whereas CMD command gave the maximum capacity as 16 GB. I installed 16 GM of RAM and the laptop is working well.
thanks for your kind info i used the command as advised by you and found out my laptop max capacity is 8GB mine is a old laptop
most obliged for your kind helpful info
Hi there, I asked my laptop manufacturer what the maximum RAM is, they say 32GB.
However, when I check through CMD —> wmic memphysical get maxcapacity
the answer is 134217728 bytes, which is 128GB.
Who do I listen to, customer service, or the CMD terminal?
