I plugged it in. Next, I chose it in the Windows file system, then, down at the bottom of the pop-up, right-clicked Properties. ReadyBoost came up on the fifth tab from left, which I selected. In that menu ReadyBoost requested 4 Gigs of the 16, which I allowed. (I seem to remember, from the old days, that ReadyBoost typically likes access to about half as much USB memory as the computer&#8217;s RAM.)<\/p>\n<p>Since then, this computer seems much faster. It&#8217;s only been a few hours&#8217; use, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to hesitate at all now. If it continues working just like this, I&#8217;ll be very happy: I&#8217;ll never remove that flash drive that&#8217;s being used for ReadyBoost. Moreover, out of its 16GB, I still can use almost 10.<\/p>\n<p>Happy news &#8211; so far, anyway:)<\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about home computer use: the tutor follows up about ReadyBoost.
