Checking Number of RAM Slots and Maximum RAM Capacity using Command Prompt | Computer Tips

Before upgrading our system's RAM, we generally have questions like: does my system have an extra memory slot, or what maximum RAM capacity my system supports? We can determine the number of available RAM slots by looking at the motherboard. But it is relatively tricky if it's a laptop. Opening a laptop is not straightforward.

Alternatively, we can determine both using Command Prompt. The commands used in the video are as follows:
1. Determining number of RAM slots on a motherboard:
wmic memphysical get memorydevices

2. Determining capacity of installed RAM:
wmic memorychip get devicelocator, capacity

3. Determining maximum RAM capacity supported by motherboard:
wmic memphysical get maxcapacity

Thank you.
