What the CPU supports and what the motherboard supports can be two different things, especially when it comes to OEM motherboards. The operating system can also limit amount of ram. Some aftermarket motherboards limit ram speed as opposed to total amount of ram. The link is for a different PC but the same question is asked and a decent explanation is given. https://superuser.com/questions/1429651/computer-only-supports-up-to-32gb-ram-even-though-my-cpu-goes-to-64
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Forget your ram question, to save yourself the headache with other issues such as HP pushing through a telemetry, spyware, software and calling it a driver through windows update, just buy a different motherboard or go with the Lenovo desktop with the 4700g. 10-15 percentage CPU usage with the HP touchpoint driver and up to 2Mb network utilization, which again isn't a driver for anything and is just recording all input and sending it to hp to be sold. HP will tell you how to uninstall touchpoint manager which is what they use to pre-install, and when asked via technical support how to disable or remove the touchpoint driver without causing issues to windows update, your email will be referred to "advanced executive escalations" they will be vague, verify you are talking about touchpoint and then not give a solution.
