Hi! I have a Lenovo laptop, and I bought it three months ago. Recently, I installed a few bulky software and applications in it, and after that, a warning stating ‘Your System is running out of virtual memory’ is appearing. Is it possible to increase the virtual memory of the laptop? If so, mention the steps for ‘how to increase memory on PC.’
