How to Create Virtual Memory in Windows 11

Hello everyone, welcome back at porkaone. On this occasion, we will share tips on how to increase Windows 11 RAM with virtual memory. How do you do it? Follow the tutorial below.

Virtual memory is additional RAM borrowed from PC or computer storage memory. It is called virtual memory because it is not actual RAM, but allocates a small amount of computer hard drive or SSD storage space to be used as virtual memory.

This virtual memory can help the PC deal with an overload on RAM. So if the physical RAM is full, virtual memory will help lend storage space. The way virtual memory and RAM work is almost the same, which functions as a temporary data store. For a more detailed explanation about RAM, you can search on Google or YouTube.

Unfortunately, virtual memory has a lower speed than hard drives or SSDs, even so virtual memory is needed when the RAM load increases, such as running too many applications. On the Windows operating system, you can set the desired amount of virtual memory storage yourself. The method is quite easy, follow the tutorial below.
