Will Flash Memory or Solid State Drives Speed Up My Computer?

If you have seen advertisements on TV or surfing the web about a free or cheap flash memory upgrade for Windows 10, then you might be in for a surprise. There really is no such upgrade available. Flash memory is not a commodity that can be upgraded. What is more interesting is that there are actually things that you can do to speed up Windows 10 PC when it runs slow.

If your computer is running slow, the first thing that you should try is to boot up Windows 10 and check for errors. Once you see the 'diagnostic results' come out, erase all the errors on your system using the'system and storage' option on your PC. Boot up again and see if your computer responds faster. If so, then erase the 'errors' that your computer has just cleared and then restart your PC.

If your computer still has the problem to boot up and clearing errors, then you will need a flash memory stick. You can plug in a new flash memory stick into the USB port on your computer and then use the device to access the stored data. Windows will load the data from the flash memory into RAM, where it will look for it.

This process will cause the computer to take longer to find the data it needs, because it has to search through the entire RAM database in order to locate the information it needs. The process of clearing out the old data will also speed up Windows by making it use less non-volatile memory. As  SPSS 20 VIPTOOLAZ -volatile memory gets full, your computer will slow down, as it tries to clear out space. Therefore, clearing out the old data and using a flash memory will help speed up Windows.

However, clearing out the old data is not the only reason why flash memory will speed up Windows. If your computer has a solid-state hard drive, then it will have an internal structure that will cause it to run much more efficiently than a flash storage device would. Your computer's processor consists of a huge amount of fast switching parts. Therefore, if there is one part that slows down your computer, it's the switch inside your processor that causes this.

Flash memory and solid state drives are both great technologies that will enable you to make your PC run faster. However, you should not opt for a flash memory if you are using an older version of Windows, or a Windows operating system that does not recognize USB drives. If you do choose to go ahead and get one of these, make sure that you get a quality flash storage chip.
