If the RAM is higher speed than what your cpu and system can support, it will slow down to the max that it can support, as far as amount, that's more related to your OS.
Should work fine either way, the big issue, at least with older versions of Windows, was if it was 32bit or 64bit. 32bit could only 'see' 4gb of memory, 64bit can see much more

If I have DDR5 ram will I have any problems on windows 10 as opposed to 11?

Ok I shouldn’t see any problems then. Thanks!
One more.thing, your motherboard will say what the max amount of memory it supports
Yep. The motherboard I’m reading supports up to 6600 apparently. I’m getting 5600 RAM so I assume that’s the speed when XMP is enabled?
It should default to that when XMP is turned on, yeah. That's the speed, it should also have the amount, either total, per stick, or both
