Extend desktop/laptop virtual memory

 Extend desktop/laptop virtual memory

For increasing, pc speed RAM is the most usable hardware ever, if your PC is slowing down and lagging try to increase the virtual memory of your PC and see the difference.

Steps

1. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. Select Advanced System Settings to open your System Properties. Now open the Advanced tab.
3. Under Performance, select Settings. Open the Advanced tab. Under Virtual memory, select Change. Here are your Virtual Memory options.

Click on Properties under "My Computer" you may use window key +E for this too.

Click on "Advanced system settings"

Click on "Settings" under the "performance" option.

You may choose this option too for better performance but it's optional for you.

Now click on the "Advanced" options and leave the settings as suggested in the image.

Under "Virtual memory" click on the change option and then click on  

Now, select Custom size. Set the Maximum size you want for your paging file, following the recommended size for your system. Remember, Windows restricts the paging file size to three times the size of your installed RAM. This is to ensure system stability. Set the Initial size to the Currently allocated size (found below).

Manually increasing the size of your paging file will alleviate this message, as per the error message. Windows sets the initial virtual memory paging file equal to the amount of installed RAM. The paging file is a minimum of 1.5 times and a maximum of three times your physical RAM.

You can calculate your paging file size using the following system. For example, a system with 4GB RAM would have a minimum of 1024x4x1.5=6,144MB [1GB RAM x Installed RAM x Minimum]. Whereas the maximum is 1024x4x3=12,288MB [1GB RAM x Installed RAM x Maximum].

Note: It's normal virtual memory not supporting all the software so please don't take it personally.
