Hello Rise Online World Players!​

Description: Friends, in this guide, I will briefly talk about what we can do to use any USB disk as RAM in our computer. First of all, what you need to know is that this feature is valid in Windows 7, Windows 10 and other operating systems, you can apply it in the same way in all of them. If you are ready, let's start together!
Assuming that our computer has 8 GB of RAM and the total of open programs wants to use 10 GB of RAM on the computer. In this case, the missing 2 GB is met from the disk on which Windows is installed, and this unfortunately slows down our computer and even causes crashes.

Important: As the recommended memory size of your USB increases, the performance increase in your personal computer will increase in direct proportion.
Recommended Memory: 4Gb and above
File System: NTFS

If we say "Dedicate This Device to Ready Boost", all the space on the disk will be added to the system as RAM. This may cause damage to the data available in the USB memory. For this reason, we select the "Use This Device" option just below. We write how much we want to use in the area just below, in MB, and click Apply.
