Graphic design software like Autocad, Adobe, and demanding games often consumes a significant amount of RAM, sometimes exceeding the available system configuration. When RAM is depleted, the computer may slow down or even stop working. In such cases, setting up virtual RAM becomes essential to enhance memory capacity.

How to Set Up Virtual RAM on Windows 10
Guide to Setting Up Virtual RAM for Windows 10
Step 1: Firstly, click on the Start Menu icon on the default taskbar at the bottom left of the Windows 10 screen. Then, click on the Settings icon.
Step 2: In the Settings window, click on the search bar and enter Performance. Choose Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows from the search results.
Step 3: In the Performance window that just appeared, choose the Advanced tab and click on Change .
Step 4: A new dialog box opens. Uncheck the option Automatically manage paging file size for all drives and click on drive C, where the operating system is installed.
Next, select Custom size. Here, enter the desired amount of virtual RAM in MB in the Initial size and Maximum size fields. Finally, click OK to complete.
As recommended by Microsoft, users should set the Initial size to about 1.5 times and the Maximum size to about 3 to 4 times the actual RAM capacity of the computer.
In the recent illustration, Mytour utilized a computer with 4GB of RAM, which, when converted, equals 4096MB. The Initial size is set to 6144MB, and the Maximum size is configured as 12288MB.
Through this Mytour article, you will likely find it easy to autonomously configure virtual RAM, boosting the device's memory capacity for efficient handling of intensive tasks. However, as mentioned earlier, this is only a temporary solution, as the virtual RAM's capacity is essentially sourced from the computer's own hard drive. In the long run, users should not set virtual RAM frequently but rather consider hardware upgrades for heavy gaming or working with high-configured software.
Wishing you success!
