Can 64-bit Win10 use more ram than 64-bit Win7?

Win 10 can hold more in RAM because of compression of RAM.

Bitlocker is included in Win 10 Pro, but not in Win 7 Pro. But this
weekend I found, that an encrypted VHD (by Win 10) can be mounted and
used with Win 7 Pro.

If it uses the older encryption system for compatiblity, absolutely.
However, not so if the user chooses the new system at the time of
encryption.

The files of my main VM (terminal server for 6 people, Thinstuff,
VMWare Player) are laying in an encrypted VHD now and are used from
there. That makes safe backups of the VM very simple (=copying the
VHD) and protects data on stolen hardware.
On Win 7 Pro I was using Veracrypt in the same way before switching zu
Bitlocker. Bitlocker is a lot faster (factor 6) for random writes on
SSDs. That was my reason to switch to bitlocker.

Plus, it's built-in. You can't beat that.
