Reach with what exactly ? The OP was asking about his specific notebook model , Dell Latitude E6530. So the advice was given looking at the specs. This CPU/laptop is like what , 10 years old ? I can't imagine any possible scenario where he could reach all 16GB of RAM . This machine has 3rd gen Intel Core i3-3110M Processor (2.4GHz, 3M cache). It's underpowered , he just can't play any modern (and not so modern) games on that ! Wait a minute , I kinda know ,  perhaps if he joins @ArcticFoxie's 360 browser contest in a desperate attempt to open 189283028302 pages with youtube and play all videos all at once...

Full laptop specs , says 2011 at the end of the page.

Actually, this laptop is able to emulate Gamecube Games and Wii games nicely. It can also run Steam games such as Bloons TD 6 nicely as well. This thread is actually now redundant as I decided to put the 4TB SSD into this laptop instead and install Windows 8.1 to it.

The tips shared here apply to any version of windows (Vista and above). 8.1 will be less aggressive by default when it comes to superfetch etc but it is still there to be disabled. On the other hand those forced updates.... I would be crying if I were an SSD on 8.1 or 10
