@koko2274 Thanks. There is definately a lot of information that is not needed if you are only looking to check your version of Windows.

I placed a new annotation link in the video for the first 2 minutes, that will link you directly to the section of the video that describes the above steps. This should save some time for others.

I have another tutorial about using a program called CPU-Z. You could install that. It will give you information about exactly what RAM slots are working.

You could try putting in only 4 of the sticks, and see if they are all recognized. Then, replace them with the other 4 and see if it recognizes them too. Then you would know that all the sticks of RAM are good.

If it's a newer memory standard it's possible a BIOS update might help it recognize it.
