Windows 10 optimizes performance using virtual memory

Virtual memory is a component of most operating systems, such as MAC OS, Windows and Linux. Virtual memory plays a very important role in the operating system. This allows us to run more applications on the system than we have enough physical memory to support. Virtual memory is simulated memory written to a file on the hard drive. This file is often called a paging file or paging file. It is used by operating systems to simulate physical RAM using disk space. To understand how virtual memory works, we need to go back in time, even before virtual memory disappeared. Back in the days of Windows version 1 or 2, we couldn't run many applications if we didn't have enough physical RAM installed. As we know, the system itself uses part of the RAM. If we run more applications, each application will also get its own portion of RAM. If we run too many applications, we will eventually run out of RAM. At this point we will not be able to open any additional applications. At the time, we had to live with that. If we don't have enough memory, we can't run applications.
