If you keep it as it is, it'll just be a redundant piece of hardware drawing extra power. Just remove it and replace it with a compatible module.
As for performance, Windows 10 performs best with 8GB or more RAM.
I have 8gb of ram available but only 3.46 is usable on my windows 10 lenovo laptop.

I have 8gb of ram available but only 3.46 is usable on my windows 10 lenovo laptop. I tried doing a BIOS update but it did not update, it said u need a G50-45 build to update. I did have it but my warranty had expired, maybe the reason. I want to know how I can make my laptop use more of the ram that is available. Thank you.

The box is still ticked, only the value is zero -

right click over the taskbar and select Task manager. in the task manager, select Performance tab, then select memory.
