The hard drive is, in short, used as “virtual memory.”

But bear in mind that if you don’t add RAM to your computer and the operating system is using your SSD as virtual memory, you might conceivably be hitting that ceiling much sooner.

It may be that other programs or possibly malware are chewing up memory, causing Windows to have to write to “virtual memory,” which means storing application data on your disc drive.

Finally, Windows may be configured to reserve more of your disk space for virtual memory than you need.

I sometimes need to run Windows, which I do in virtual memory using Parallels Desktop, but I don’t want that as my main operating system.
