Use your USB drive as RAM for your PC

Increase your PC's RAM with a USB Drive

Ever wanted to increase the RAM of your PC but couldn't do it since all the slots happen to be full already?

RAM not only addresses the overall stability of running processes, but also allows you to add extra power to play video games, watch movies in high resolution, and work with powerful programs.

Buying new RAM is not always possible, this is related to its high cost and not to forget those special occasions when there is a possibility of not having free slots.

But there is a way to increase your computer's RAM without adding more RAM to your computer. It's by using your USB drive as a RAM, yes you read it right, today I will teach you how you can use your USB drive as a virtual memory to increase the speed and performance of your computer system and the good news is that you won't be needing to download or install any type of software for this.

But before we proceed further I request you to kindly share your comments in the comment section below as it really gives me that positive energy that is needed in order to continuously share more tricks.

So without wasting any more time let's get in action.

Things you will need:
1. USB drive with a capacity of over 1GB.
Data transfer rate should be greater than 3.5 megabits per second.

2. A laptop or desktop with the operating system from Windows 7 to 10 (This trick may also work in Windows XP but I haven't tried it myself, so if you have Windows XP with you then you can check this and share your experience in the comments as this will help others. For Windows Vista systems however, this trick does not work.)

2. Open "My Computer" and then right click on the drive that you want to use as a RAM.
