Any way around the 16GB ram limit of Win 7 home premium?

[Compman55]

Ordered a pc for a friend and ordered home premium. Want to max out the ram.

 

[Dahak]

nope, its hard coded into home premium.

The only way around it for the least expense is if you can fine an anytime upgrade from home premium to pro or ultimate.

Maybe look into a ram drive / pagefile. Its not using the ram as you want to but the end result maybe similar.

Ask this guy to make a hack?

Most people (like me) are getting by just fine with just 8GB of RAM so having 16GB is just a future-proofer. 16GB will be the norm in the far-distant future so don't worry about it.

Actually most do fine with 4 or even 2.

Should have gotten Win7Pro...but that's hide sight and all that jazz.

You might be able to find and Anytime Upgrade from 7 HP to 7 Pro for cheap, if you really want to go pro
