Hi @rey3arch advocate increasing virtual RAM when an application requires more RAM to work as intended and exceeds the installed system RAM. On Windows 10, increasing virtual RAM on the (ultra fast M.2 NVMe) solid state drive is designed to remove and temporarily store less frequently used modified pages allocated in system RAM (random-access memory) to the OS (C:) drive's virtual RAM. Using this approach allows the operating system to prioritize faster physical memory for more frequent processes and applications, improving the overall performance and preventing the device from locking up in the event it runs out of system RAM.

Hi @rey3arch for example: Our 17 R5 system RAM is 32GB.
Our OS (C:) 1TB ultra fast M.2 NVMe SSD virtual RAM range is 32 to 64GB.
