You didn't say which version of Win7 you are using. The reason I ask is the problem I ran into.
I have a very similar computer...6GB ram. Upgraded to 12GB shortly after I purchased it and all was better.
Just recently I decided to upgrade again to 24GB and my Win7 x64 told me that while it saw all 24GB, only 16GB of it was available. WTF?!
Come to find out I had Win7 Home Premium x64 and it restricts memory access to 16GB. I had to do a $89 upgrade to Professional before I could use all 24GB of ram and beyond.
The following table specifies the limits on physical memory for Windows 7.
Version Limit on X86 Limit on X64
Windows 7 Ultimate 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Enterprise 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Professional 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Home Premium 4 GB 16 GB
Windows 7 Home Basic 4 GB 8 GB
Windows 7 Starter 2 GB N/A
i7 6800 (6 core/12 thread), 24 GB RAM, 1 gtx 1080 ti (8GB Vram) + 1 Titan X (12GB Vram), PP11, Octane/Poser plugin, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Oh, and a wiener dog!
