Many thanks.
Questions:
QUESTION 1) See pic below from Dell manual . So you are suggesting pulling out all the sticks except the one on slot #4. Correct?
I have one a 3 channel set of 6 GB ( 2GB sticks) and one 3 channel set of 12 GB ( 4GB chips). Currently can remmber which set is which so going dwon to one chip will either leave me with 2GB or 4 GB)
QUESTION 2) Assuming my machine boot and run with only one DDR3 stick (thought it needed three), and I start and finsh the initial, at what point can I put back the memory? Recall, many of the issues only surfaced well after the install when I started with the Windows Updates. I cant imaginw opearting the machine to even get to Control Panel/Wndows Update on one stick. I am assuming I would put back the remaining sticks immediately after the install is complete, and even before the system reboots to Windows - Correct?
