well stuff I have so many questions I searched my computer and I found a "specific module" for it on Amazon (for anyone wanting to do this yourself my computer is a Dell XPS 8500) how trustworthy is this and if I downloaded Speccy and checked would the specs match up also Windows 10 Pro supports up to 512 GB of RAM but RAM is hardware so is there a possibility I wouldn't be able to physically install up to 504 GB of RAM ALSO if I open up the motherboard and I find that there's four sticks of 2 GB instead of one 8 GB stick and I have to remove some sticks in order to make room will I lose my files and all my data |

For Speccy, it'll tell you the kind and amount of RAM you have, like so in the RAM category in this image http://imgur.com/caD3K What I'd really pay attention though is just the type of RAM it displays though. When Windows 10 Pro says it supports up to 512 GB of RAM, it means that it's possible for it to support up to that much if it were possible to install that much, which it isn't. Most motherboards up in that range of RAM size tend to be server motherboards too, so unless you're running high end servers, you don't really need to worry. When theres 4 sticks of 2 GB installed instead of 8 GB, when you remove some sticks to make room for larger size modules, you won't lose your files or data, all of that is stored on your Hard Drive |

It is cleared every time you turn the computer off or restart, so you won't lose any data. |

You might actually be able to download RAM It is technically possible to expand the size of a pagefile through software, giving you more "RAM". |
