I've got a machine that is 64-bit, running 32-bit windows 7, which has 8GB ram.

I did the official upgrade to windows 10 that Microsoft was offering a few weeks ago, but I'm having a difficult time setting up the /pae boot option, which I have been lead to believe will allow me to use more than 3.5 GB of ram.

Is it possible to set up the /pae option to address more than 3.5GB ram on a windows 10 system?

You can enable PAE (Physical Address Extension) by using bcdedit in command prompt to enable it.

However, as Moab said in comments: PAE hack is unstable and causes more problems than it solves

This means that a 64 Bit Windows is much more stable than a 32 Bit Windows with PAE enabled for extended memory (over 4 GB).

The choice is up to you.

Note: i recommend you to install Windows 10 64 Bit
