NVRAM is non-volatile. It isn't the regular ram in the system. It can be used for storing settings and similar e.g. bios related.

So it is not the ram that i slot into the mobo?

Correct. Problem lies elsewhere. Regular ram only stores data when it is powered. nvram stores data even when not.

So code 61 'NVRAM Initializing' on Windows install is not my RAM. I didnt think so, i think i was misinformed.

Do you have any experience of this error?

Im using a legit shop bought but previously used Win10 usb stick.

After i choose my OS I get 1 task bar load then a 2nd then code 61
