We are running this on Windows 10 at a school. When the students go to save their pictures it comes up with a RAM memory error. Not sure how to fix this.

Hi
What version of Photoshop are you using, if it's pre CC2018 then you will most likely need to apply this fix
Error while accessing performance preferences - 'An integer between 96 and 8 is required.'
This issue was fixed in version CC2018
If you can post Photoshop's system info I may be able to verify that, in Photoshop go to Help > System Info and copy and paste that into this thread

Hi
Photoshop is not seeing all of your available memory
Free memory: 1371 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 8 MB
You have 2 choices either apply the fix I posted above or update to version CC2018 19.1.6

You should also consider upgrading the RAM as 4GB and not a lot for Photoshop to work with, you have to remember that Windows and other apps will be using RAM as well, 8GB would be the minimum I would recommend.
Also there's only 30GB of free space for the scratch disk.

You are running Photoshop on old Core 2 Duo computers with 4GB of RAM and 80GB hard drives. Odds are, you will have problems as these are right at the minimum requirements, especially under Windows 10.
I realize edu budgets are a problem, but upgrading the RAM and hard drives will really help. A bunch of, say, 160GB SSD's would be a HUGE help, and 8GB of RAM is a lot more realistic.
You also want to update Photoshop as there is a known memory bug that was fixed recently.

I didn't want to upgrade these computers to Windows 10 do you think it
would be a good idea if we put them back to Windows 7? I know they are old
but we do not have the funds at this time to upgrade them and Photoshop ran
just fine on Windows 7 on these computers.

As Ged said Photoshop is not using of your RAM. It is a known issue that came along with Windows earlier this year. Upgrding to the latest version of Photoshop (which is part of the CC subscription) resolves the issue. If there is a reason not to do that upgrade, then apply the fix linked by Ged will also resolve it. I would do that rather than stepping back your OS.

Thank you I will try that and see plus hope it takes care of it.

Actually, Windows 10 handles older computers better than Windows 7 in many cases. I would leave them on Windows 10, update Photoshop (since that update is free) and see what happens.

Thank you that is what I thought.
