What is virtual memory. Windows 10 - Optimize Performance Using Virtual Memory / APTEK TUTORIAL

In this tutorial
We will see how to increase virtual memory in Windows 10.
By Increasing virtual memory, you can improve overall performance of your Windows 10 machine. And what is it?

Does your computer lag often and are stuck with a slow system? This video may help you out. No paid software or surveys needed. Drastically and Dramatically speed up your PC. No strings attached. This is a built-in feature to Windows that is called "virtual memory" or "virtual RAM".
Virtual memory is a component of most operating systems, such as MAC OS, Windows and Linux. Virtual memory has a very important role in the operating system. It allows us to run more applications on the system than we have enough physical memory to support. Virtual memory is simulated memory that is written to a file on the hard drive. That file is often called page file or swap file. It’s used by operating systems to simulate physical RAM by using hard disk space. To understand how virtual memory works we have to go back in time, before virtual memory even exited. In the days of Windows version 1 or 2, we actually couldn’t run many applications if we didn’t have enough physical RAM installed. As we know, the system itself is using a portion of RAM. If we run more applications, each application will also get its own portion of RAM. If we run too many applications, at one point we will run out of RAM. At that point we won’t be able to open any additional application. Back in those days we had to live with that. If we don’t have enough memory, we can’t run applications.

1. Press- WIN + R and search - sysdm.cpl
2. Under Advanced, Go to Performance Settings
3. Then Go to Advanced tab.
4. In virtual memory, click on Change.
5. Now uncheck the automatic manage option and check the custom size.
6. Fill up the initial and maximum size
Initial size = 1536 x System RAM (in GB)
Maximum size = 2048 x System RAM (in GB)
7. Click on OK.

To view your system's virtual memory,
