Hello,
I wanted to allocate more RAM to my laptop using ReadyBoost, but the tab doesn't appear in the properties of my USB drive (I specify that I am on Windows 10)
How can I do that please?
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 54.0.2840.71

Hello.
ReadyBoost is not designed for PCs with more than 1 GB of RAM, but for those with less than 1 GB.
It is useless beyond 1 GB.

What ReadyBoost is not:
- ReadyBoost is not a memory extension: the Flash memory of the USB drive is not used as an extension of RAM. The Flash memory and the USB bus are too slow for such use.
- ReadyBoost is not a boot accelerator: the presence of a USB drive does not speed up your PC's startup. On the contrary, ReadyBoost tends to delay the launch by a few seconds.
- ReadyBoost is not an accelerator for machines with little memory: the technology proves to be all the more effective the more memory your PC has. It is on machines with 2 to 4 GB of RAM that ReadyBoost is most effective.

We tested it in a professional environment, for a rather old machine, and because we have no possibility of changing it for the moment.
Let's say it helped, but it's not magic either.
Furthermore, if we read the principle, our goal was absolutely not to "increase the RAM" as too many people think, but rather to make everyday use acceptable.
I therefore think that our friend here is likely to be disappointed by the performance. An old PC remains an old PC.

hi
yeah, this "option" is misleading in its name for the average user who will believe that their machine is going to have insane performance ^^
a little wiki for more info
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost
as indicated in the wiki, if your hard drive is already performing well, as is the case with new PCs, this function is disabled, makes sense ^^
there have been quite a few inquiries about this on CCM lately :-)
people really have no patience anymore and are looking for speed in every pastime ??
