These are some of the most frequently asked questions by the users who want to make Windows 10 faster<\/a> and improve its performance.<\/p>\n

We all know that system memory is divided into two types – Virtual Memory<\/strong> and Random Access Memory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The programs which are installed on our system use RAM<\/strong><\/span> or Random Access Memory. RAM is limited to all the systems or we would say it comes in modules. In case, the entire RAM which is present on a system is allocated to processes running, then Windows stores it to a file called Paging file<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(also known as the page file<\/span>, pagefile<\/span>, swap file<\/span>) on Windows computers.<\/p>\n
