He has two 4GB modules but the BIOS lists 8GB, while Windows displays only 3.5GB of RAM.

He runs on a 32-bit Windows system and may require a reinstall.

Verify the system version. If it's 32-bit, you'll need to perform a clean install of Windows 10 64-bit.

Check the task manager to see if RAM is listed as hardware reserved.

It seems he likely has a 32-bit version of Windows running. He should verify in the system settings that it displays as a 64-bit OS, as 32-bit systems are restricted to 3.5GB of RAM. This issue might be related to the BIOS reporting correctly.
